Hi Julius,

You can do everything in the top, drive list, panel, without needing to use the graphical half of this window (which merely gives a graphical view of the same data in the top of this window).

Right clicking (or shift+F10 for the context menu via the keyboard) on any of the listed drives in the top section brings up exactly the same options as right clicking in the graphical view in the bottom portion of the screen, allowing you to select: format, shrink partition, extend volume etc.

Cheers
Joe
