Q: Here is what I have Partition Magic 7.0:
screenshot using (http://www.geocities.com/guy/partition.jpg)
How I can assimilate it into my main partition? I tried to create another NTFS partition in the empty space, and then combine them. PM does not allow it.
I had a similar scenario with a FAT disk partition, and could merge by creating a FAT partition in the unused space.
Sure its only 7MB, but .

I've never had 8MB of space left over, as some of you suggest this 'alway' happens, this clearly isn't the case.
If you format using a DOS boot disk then yes .
but………

In short just leave it alone. It is after all only 8MB…..
DITTO !

Can you extend the current partition into the space without creating an extra partition? When I had this problem, I simply made the partition bigger to fill the gap.
Re:There is always ~8MBs of unallocated space left over when you format a drive for Windows. Leave it alone.
Re:Basic & Dynamic? What's that?

Re:Sorry, but trying to open your screenshot from Geocities, I get that it "isn't available for viewing"…
