I want to solve this problem without reinstall Windows. And can I convert the unallocated space to NTFS or FAT32 without reinstall OS.

Yes you can ... all you need to do is assign that 15 Gb to extended partition and then  create 1 or multiple logical drives in it and there you can use it.\n For Win 200/Xp/2003 Type Compmgmt.msc in Start/Run and follow the above mentioned procedure . refer windows Help for more info\n Also you can convert From FAT to NTFS/FAT32 but vice-versa is not possible. also Converting from FAT32 to NTFS is not possible and also vice versa.

so u need to re-run the goback program to get the info back and the paritions back since you wipped out windows that was controlling the drive paritions unless u used fdisk.

I am not certain that the trouble is the hard drive format. Whether you format a drive in FAT or NTFS, it will not cause the drive to be reported incorrectly. That is almost always caused by the BIOS or operating system misreporting the size of the drives. \n\nOlder motherboards, and older operating systems, had drive size limitations, they can't recognize drives over a certain size. \n\nYou should check the BIOS to see how it is reporting the drive sizes and go from there. Here is a good story on FAT and NTFS.\nhttp://www.smartcomputing.com/editorial/article.asp?article=articles/archive/l0606/16l06/16l06.asp\n\n\nIf you are still hoping to convert your hard drive to NTFS, here is some help from Microsoft:\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/kb/307881/

first format the disk and reinstall windows in your system

Well, U should clean it up! If the O.S. drive (Which has got windows installed on) is full, try to uninstall the useless programs which have been installed on ur PC, and don't install any other program on D drive(If windows has been settled on D) If u wanna have ur O.S. on C u should format D and C then install windows on C again which is a lil bit tough for a beginner...\nGood luck;)

Computer is booting from a non-bootable source. \nComputer hard disk drive is not properly setup in BIOS. \nCorrupt NTLDR and/or NTDETECT.COM file. \nMisconfiguration with the boot.ini file. \nAttempting to upgrade from a Windows 95, 98, or ME computer that is using FAT32. \nNew hard disk drive being added. \nCorrupt boot sector / master boot record. \nSeriously corrupted version of Windows 2000 or Windows XP. \nLoose or Faulty IDE/EIDE hard disk drive cable.

You may want to run a virus scan on it.  It doesn't sound good.  Try to backup your data file as soon as possible.  The last resort is to format your drive and start over with installing windows.  Good luck.

that means you don't have any more room on your hard drive. try buying an external hard drive or burning some files to dvds/cds. that should help.

in Fdisk there is a Non-Dos option...use that to delete an NTFS or any other Non-Dos Partition.

If you do delete them, use a Data Recovery Software (it works if the sectors weren't zeroed or other)

If you're using an older OS like Win98, it can't see ntfs partitions.  It sounds like the 120GB drive is formatted in ntfs and the recovery partition is formatted in FAT32 (which all Windows OS recognizes).\n\nI suggest reformatting the drive in FAT32 or upgrade to WinXP.

Use FDISK first to create partitions. At least one primary partition. If you install Win2000 or higher this is part of the installation routine.\n\n-----------\n\nI had this problem once.\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q228888\n\nThe solution is incredibly paradoxical.\n\nIf nothing helps go to the HDD manufacturer site and download the hardware diagnose tool.\n\nto get a picture of your case further details are required.

You can delete the partition, but you cannot reclaim it without repartitioning it, under which case it will appear under a different drive letter than your other partition.\n\nTo rejoin the partition to your Windows partition, you need to either repartition the entire disk -- which will destroy all data -- or use a partitioning program.

You have to format your computer to get that back. Its your last resort when it comes to missing windows files. To do a backup you need your backup cd's.

YAY! Another one converted!\n\nThis has always been a troublesome thing.  I'm not going to lie to you.  If this is done incorrectly, you can completly delete all windows data and everything that is sacred to you.\n\nI DO NOT want you to try this until someone with more exprience than I comes and checks this for accuracy.\n\nThat being said, lets begin.\n\nYour first and very important choice, what version of Linux do you want? For a beginner such as yourself, I suggest a version with a self installer: Xandros or Red Hat Fedora.  \n\nOnce you visit one of their sites and download their package, burn it onto a DVD or a few CDs.  \n\nBefore you use this, you need to set aside extra room on your hard drive for Linux.  You can do this by getting Ranish Partition Manager at: http://www.ranish.com/part/ and take some space (at least 8 GB) out of your Windows partition. Leave this data in unformated space (no partiton format)\n\nPut this disk into the correct drive, and proceed to make your partitions.  The self-installers should be able to select the extra space you made before and utilize it to make Linux.  \n\nA new boot loader will be installed and you can select either Linux or Windows (sometimes labled as DOS).  \n\nYou can change the default Operating System the Boot Loader boots into, but be careful. Run your system in Linux.  When you have booted up, open the following file: /etc/grub.conf \nWhen you open this file there will be a text editor which will have one line that reads: \ndefault=0\nDepending on what your bootloader recognized Windows as on the list change the 0 to an number 0-4.\n\ne.x. (This is the boot manager)\n0.Linux\n1.Tools\n2.Expert\n3.Windows (or DOS)\n\nIn that list you would want to select 3. So, change the default to:\ndefault=3

there are many tools available in market......\n\n1.. partition magic\n2.. Norton Ghost\n3.. Disk Manager\n\nBut the at last all are directly or indirectly using only one tool....\n\ntake any bootable win Cd\n\nand put command "fdisk".\n\ndefinately u will find out your solution.
