I NEED more hard drive space.

Alright, I just reformatted my computer once again.
Now, it was 7 in the morning, and I made a very bad mistake.
Upon being asked "Would you like to enable large disk support?" I said No, so now my 200G hard drive will only hold 1 gig of space!

I do NOT want to reformat again, please tell me there is some way to open up all the space without having to reformat.

Hello,

You need to reformat.

Your choice of NO in the FDISK question formatted your drive with what is called FAT16, and you do not have enough allocation sectors to make the drive any more larger than 1024M, or 1 GB (although I thought the limit was 2 GB).

You need what is called FAT32, and that is only available with YES in the FDISK question.

We know you won't make the same mistake again. But yep, you need to re-partition and re-format.
