Hi, i recently bought a 1 tb external HD and i was told had to be reformated to FAT 32 instead of NTFS like it was. I have windows xp software on my computer so to be able to change the external HD to FAT32 i had to delete the old partition. When i did that i lost half the storage space on my external HD. I thought by reformating it back to NTFS it would fix it but it didn't. So i want to know if i can restote the lost space on my external HD. Please help.

Thanks in advance,
Mhrh
