You have a couple of options..
Start over from scratch and repartition your disk to the desired size before you commence the OS reinstall process.
I'm willing to start from scratch, but as mentioned weeks ago, I was never offered partitioning options during the install. Following a discussion on this forum, I stripped the lot and did it again, very carefully looking at the point that Saab? said would offer the option. Not a thing.
Now it might be that the Beta RC is slightly different. But I think I'll press on with the partition as it is, cos I've still to face MS when registering the OEM version of W7 Pro.
Different subject, but I've now had three different conversations with MS about this, (OEM issues) including the fact that the machine was tested with XP, and the parts data no doubt stored. Still okay, and my calls on record...I don't expect anything to be simple these days...they'll probably deny I exist.
