Drive Questions

[Guest lilbman]

I recently deleted Lubuntu from my laptop and the allocated space is marked as 'Unallocated'.  I tried to extend the rest of the hard drive space so I can use the 'Unallocated' space. When I try to turn it into a simple volume, it simply says that there is not enough space on the disk to complete the action, even though it clearly says that the space is unallocated.  Can somebody help me so I can use the 80GB previously allocated for Lubuntu for storage on Windows?

In Windows Disk Manager I think you can only extend to the right so partitions on the left won't work?

It won't extend to the unallocated space at all..is it maybe because it is formatted for use with Linux only? I didn't resize the partitions before I uninstalled it.
