Working on it now....

Control Panel -> Adminstrative tools -> Computer Management

Then in the directory tree on the left choose 'Disk Management'

Post up a picture of what it shows, hopefully from there I can guide on how to recover or gain access to the 30gig.

That is exactly what I was thinking as I was reading thru the problem. ;)

Glad it worked out for you! I guess now you have and extra 120G HDD laying around for when ever the 40G crashes. :D

Actually, I was able to cancel the order since it hadn't shipped yet. No need for $85 paper weight on my desk.:)

Just saw the post. Glad to see that issue is resolved. Figured it was just unallocated. Use it as a storage partition. That's what I do.
