the exact steps to use disk management If this does not do it, then the linux partition is not as unallocated as windows thinks....
Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

you have two unformatted partitions of 7gb and 502mb... or at least, they appear to be unformatted. If they are empty, remove the partition on the 502mb and see if it adds to the unallocated space. If it doesn't linux did something that windows doesn't understand.

so you need to boot back into linux to manage this unallocated space.

Did chkdsk /r, no changes. I'll have a look from the Linux side

Was gonna suggest partition magic, ive had this problem in the past. I think its down to windows not recognising the EXT2/3 format that linux uses, but partition magic can. Glad ya got it sorted

Thank you. The Linux format was ReiserFS, but that is also not recognised.
