I cant seem to allocate the unallocated disk space of 27.62 GB on the 64 GB removable hard drive (disk 2)

 

Help... I need somebody...help...not just anybody...

the fix

 

Run cmd as an administrator (that's the command line terminal, the black window with text only)

 

Type: diskpart          (and press enter after each command and wait for the diskpart> prompt to come back up)

 

type: list disk

type: select disk 1  (the 1 is whatever number your USB drive comes up as)

type: detail disk (this is just to verify that is the disk you want to mess around with)

type: clean

type: create primary partition

type: select partition 1

type: active

type: format fs=ntfs quick

type: assign

type: exit

type: exit
