    I have a 40GB HD and after a rather unsuccessful attempt at installing linux i decided to reinstall windows. Now the drive is only being read as a 10 GB drive. Im guessing the linux install partitioned part of the hard drive and that is where i installed the new windows. Is there a way to either expand this drive back to 40 or to format the other 30 so that it is usable to me?
