Hello,
I am running Vista, with a 230GB hard drive, originally partitioned into three: 7GB (config esia), 45GB C:/ (system), and 175GB D:/ (data).
I tried to rebalance C and D with Parted Magic, D:/ is now correctly 120GB, but the properties of C:/ still show only 45GB (as before), while storage management and Parted Magic see it as 100GB.
I am looking for help to understand and recover the lost space.
Thank you in advance.
P.S.: I have already run two CHKDSK and several restarts in normal mode.

Hi,
take a screenshot of the disk management to see the layout up close, then upload your image to an image hosting site and paste the link here.
You can also use Diskpart > Start/Run cmd > diskpart then the command list volume, after copy/pasting it here. By clicking on the little c:\ in the top left and going to > Edit > Select All, then go back to Select All and Copy.

thank you for your help -
Everything is correct, there is nothing abnormal as you can see.
Only one error according to the screenshot above, it correctly shows 47Go while above it shows 117Go. I think this error can be fixed in regedit.
Three partitions: > 7.8Go EISA < - > 107Go C: < - > 117Go D:<

Do you have a process for modifying this in regedit, which keys to modify if that is what needs to be done, or something else.....?
thank you in advance
