    Aha, Well done Dr Smutt.

    Thanks for that.
    8.86 unallocated.

    So when I come to format, will it automatically remove the partitioning and give me 20gig?

    no, need to delete the partition then reallocate the whole disk.

    in the disk management, right click on the drive delete the partion then reallocate. you can now format the whole drive.

    Ok. Thanks for all that help.

    Now apart from nicking the HD out of this unit is anything else there of any value/interest or should it be binned?

    And I take it that the software is of no use either?

    I personally, dont do any repairs, though not averse to building the odd computer/gadget Etc.

    That may explain the colour of the case, too.

    Looks like one of the systems they use at Derby City hospital to run the car park barriers and payment systems.

    The motherboard looks similar to those on the mini-itx.com shop, but I guess its an older version. There are some laptops with these boards I believe.
