partition issue
hi all,

i have a little problem with a new hard drive its my boot drive its 273.24 GB big.

i have 4 partitions on it currently if you add up all the partition sizes it comes to 259.63 GB. It says it has 44.68 GB unallocated (the bit i want to partition and format) yet the disk is only 273.24 GB big.

259+44 = 303 now i know hard drives are funny things but is there any obvious reason why i cant add a new partition in windows disk manager?

the disk is ntfs and running windows 2003 server and i want to create 5th partition on the disk when i right click the unallocated part of the disk the "new partition" option is greyed out.

Thanks in advance
