It sounds like you used WUBI to do the install. You can either

1) Try using the wubi virtual disk resizer

2) Do a proper install of ubuntu, rather than using WUBI.

thanx mycae,

yes i did use WUBI 2 do the install,as it seemed easier.

thanx again,will prob b back on the forum with more questions soon,really enjoy the freedom of Linux (tho i aint a young guy)
