Assuming you're using Windows XP here (but most wins are the same if I recall correctly). Don't know what the translations are from swedish, but I'll make a guess:

Control panel->Computer management->Storage->Disk management

Right click the disk you want to change, and choose the proper option.

Remember "Computer management" is a translation from swedish. It may be something else to the same extent.

Good luck.

Right, I forgot about the administrative tools folder. Good thing Rajk999 was here, eh? šŸ™‚

Glad it worked out for you.
