Thank you so much for your useful information. I have now an extra 12mb of free space on my vista laptop. But one question though, how can i attach that extra space to the main c: drive so i can take full advantage of my 400hdd?

At the moment in Disk Management when i right click on the c: drive “extend volume” is grayed out i can’t select it.

Please help!

My long search for instructions was bountiful, thanks to you. Your instructions worked beautifully. I was then able to use Disk Management and Partition Magic.

Thanks a whole bunch!

Tip top tip, needed to remove eisa partition from sony vaio for a custom ghost image… this worked a treat. (The diskpart util will work with hdd’s attached via a usb enclosure aswell!)

I found it out yay…
You just go to the partition where that shitty oem is placed, then instead of using the delete partition 1 override command, you use clean and press enter.. Voila, partition OEM deleted
Then you can do whatever you want. And never need to see that shitty oem shit again..lol

I have exactly the same problem as Ricardo (56), also with an ACER laptop, win VISTA home.

Does anyone have a solution for this ?
After rebooting, the new partition I make, changes in EISA partition. What a waste of 400 gig…

Please help me out !?

This was much simpler than other instruction sets. I will never forget this advice, thank you very much.

I have an ACER notebook. I partitioned the HD, it worked on the first day, but for no apparent reason it turned the new partition into an EISA partition, and I could not get rid of it.

I tried several different software, but everytime after rebooting the computer the wrong EISA partition was back there…

I followed the instructions above, everything just looked fine, I even created a new partition… but after rebooting the computer it was the same again, i.e. the wrong-EISA partition was back there :-O
