Partition software more than likely.

Download something (gParted Live CD or something similar) and resize the partition on there to take up the 2 GB

Thank you

You have no idea how much that helped, I just went throught this horrendous setup where I had to recover files from a bad XP install, I booted with a Live DSL CD, and transferred the files to it but i needed the full 2 GB to get what I needed, thank you agian my friend!
