No problem. So the 450 GB is still unallocated free space. Good.

What is H: drive? Is it your storage partition on the larger HD?

The H drive is the 450GB partition on the 600GB drive. The remaining 150GB
is Vista.

Funny... When I was running the RC the drive letters switched to C on each
OS. It was when I formatted the RC partition and installed 7 Ultimate that
the drive letters stayed the same. I always wondered about that.

Do I need to boot to the CD to access this desktop?

Now we are both confused. Unallocated space is not a partition. Its other
name is unpartitioned free space. So it can't have a drive letter. Ever.

When you look in Disk Management, how is the 450 GB area described?
When you look in BING, how is the 450 GB area described?

No, everything will be done from installed BING now. In Partition Work, is
BING at the end of the 600 GB HD?
