Have you gone into Disk Management to see what shows up there?

There is always at least one partition.
You can't install an OS or create a file system (FAT32 or NTFS) without partitioning the drive first.
Even if C: occupies the entire hard disk, it'll still use a partition.

How does that change things? If you single-partition a HDD as a boot drive, then a year later move it and make it a slave, does that mean that it's not partitioned any more?

Great news!

No you won't lose data if you add a partiton in that unallocated space. Go for it.

About this [NITPICK] argument...

A drive that is new or Master or Slave has nothing to do with partition(s).

Any drive needs at least 1 partition before data can be stored on it.

I'm glad it's sorted, Samurai.

Perhaps I should've used shorter sentences then...


@VB:
It's not an argument - fuckedup would need to actually argue for that.
