Hi guys,Plse help me recover my hdd space; I once installed ubuntu 10.04 on my hp notebook. now I need to recover that 20Gb space that was automatically partitioned for. now when I go to disk management I can see my space but the system reckon I cannot access it -probably bcos linux uses is using different file system (EXT2) compared to Windows one (NTFS).Im using Vista Business 32-bit o/system.Plse tell me if its possible to recover it and how. Thanks, * +

you can use the already installed windows to manage that empty space. that is the quickest way i'd say. *
