Unhappy CFdisk Space Ends Up In Wrong Place


I have a big HD formatted into 4 Win. drive & a big blank spot at the end for a 6 linuxes. My old HD is drive D:. My new one, in Win. is C:, E:, F: & G:. G: is my hold drive. I was running low on space on it, so I used the DamnSmall Live CD to delete all the linuxes & drive G:. Then I set up swapfile on end, Linspire space on end, Xandros space on end, DSL space on end & all the rest as Win95(FAT32). I restarted the computer between deleting & setting back up. Cfdisk show my G: drive as 62+ gig, but after having to reinstall Win98SE, Windows shows my C: drive as 40G & my G: still at 39G. How can I get that extra space to go to the G: drive that it shows in cfdisk, when it won't in Windows? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you for you time & trouble

I wanted to add. I finally go around & ran "fdisk" in DOS & is shows the same thing that "cfdisk" shows. Windows still show the space at the frount instead of the end. What the "BLEEP" is going on??? Thank you for your time & trouble.

Close this. I have everything saved to CDs now & am going to use the Seagate setup disks to start from scratch. I've got about 40 full CDs with WinRAR zipped music files I'll have to restore. Give me a couple weeks?? I'll be back up to steam. Thanks.
