There is one thing I just found after deleting a partition and losing GB's. Go the start menu, right click my computer and go to manage then to disc management. Right click your main hard drive, most likely C drive, go to extend volume and accept, it should take your unallocated space and put it back in your main HD.

You need to partition your hard disk to allocate space. For example my hard disk is partitioned into 2 C:=25GB and D:=225GB. This way you have you OS on drive C and all your documents and program files on drove D. For safety sakes if you ever get a virus you can install a clean copy to drive C and all your document will still be available on drive D. Create shortcuts from some of your program files software to the desktop and most off them still run so you have even saved yourself some time in installing all this.

You have to create a logical drive or a partion on the unallocated space, and after that format (FAT16, FAT32, NTFS) the newly created logical drive (partition).

How much space could you allocate for unlimited RAM?

RAM (Random Access Memory) is a physical chip that is inserted into your motherboard inside your computer. Allocating 'space' on your computer to act as RAM is called 'virtual memory'. Virtual memory can be increased as long as you have room on your hard drive to allocate. Physical memory can be increased by replacing the chips on your motherboard. Quite simply, to allocate an unlimited amount of space for RAM would only depend on how large your hard drive(s) were or how many slots on your motherboard existed.
