    Hi there, Well my problem started when I dual booted linux on a newly made seperate partition on my hard drive, after loads of fussing I had to uninstall linux, and then when i went back onto windows 7 - i deleted that partition and it has turned into "Free Space" with a green bar (problem one) I cant get that free space back to my C:\ drive, I get an error when I try to make a new one =( - and my second problem is I have lost EVERYTHING, I had to manually download drivers from my desktop and transfer via USB to get it working again, Now, I have also lost my AlienFX and Sense, and Touch --- can someone help me get these back please? :( (Problem two) :(

    Please help guys im counting on you :( :( :(

    For problem 2, have you tried re-installing Alienware Command Center?

    For problem 1, what kind of error were you getting when trying to create a new partition?

    @Mucchan 2.) Yeah I tried to reinstall it, I think it installed but when I went into the AlienFX the page was just blank, it had the color wheel but that was empty, just the wheel and nothing else, It was just blank, tried multiple reinstalls,

    1.) The error I got was that it said there was no space for me to create a new partition - What I was trying to do was on the 60 gigs of "Free Space" there was on the hard drive, I need to turn it into unallocated space to extent my C:\ drive, But I can't do that either with the error,

    I haven't got alienfx (so its stuck on green :( - and I cant get my 60 gigs of free space back) =/ -

    Please reply


    Edit:

    Problem No.2 has been solved as far as I can tell, I have done something to make it work but I don't know what :L - Anyway, Yep I can change the colors, I just need to figure out how to turn this free space into unallocated =/

    I heard a program called BootInNG could do this but im not sure =/
