Couple of probs (one easy email one more difficult)

[MiniKiller]

Ok I had to do a reformat on my pc because two partitions where created on my drive. Add to that half my GB's where 'lost' and sent to 'unallocated' space but I couldnt acsess them.

Anyway I reformat BUT the second unpartioned space is still there. My hard drive is split in half because I have acsess to only have of my memory. How can I combine that unallocated space to my c drive? Alienware tech's arent helping at all!

This leads to my easy question. I asked and had in answered before but I cant remember the combo. In resetting up my outlook express I need to enter pop3 settings and smpt (or something to that affect) settings. what where the codes to make my email work? wasnt it like smtp.comcast.smpt or something to that affect?

I cant resend my question with my updated results (still half my space in unpartioned) to them until I can acsess my email because that is the one they will send it to.

Thanks kindly!

You need to repartition it. You using XP or 9X?

Hi Mini,

The Comcast Mail server settings are as follows:
Outgoing mail (SMTP): smtp.comcast.net
Incoming mail (POP3): mail.comcast.net

copied from here: http://faq.comcast.net/faq/query.jsp?name=Email

Under Start/Programs/Accesoires/? you will find "Computer-Administration" somewhere in the menu. That's the tool you need to allocate the space back to your drive.

I'm running Windows XP.

Thanks the email is now sorted out, I knew it was simply, this time Im gona write this down lol.

Under 'Start---programs---acc.", I dont have that option anywhere, or in any sub-catagory in acc. Would that option be anywhere else?

Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools(sp? My XP is Turkish) > Computer Administration

Then you'll get to where there are two panels. In the left panel, follow : Storage > Disk Management (sp?). After that you'll see your allocated and unallocated spaces in the lower right panel. Right click the partitions there and you 'll find options that will help you do it.

If you still can not manage the problem from there, get Partition Magic (that's a trial version), I'll show you the way to. I have a lot of experience on that.

Good luck
