You need to delete the partion completly and repartion it using the full 20GB. this can be done using the windows install disk. Boot to the disk, may differ depending on what OS youhave

you should get a clean HDD in selection to the damaged down one & deploy a sparkling OS. Then use USMT for procuring your previous settings again in case you want. Restoring has failed so that you want to manually set up the classes & information from the backupchronic you've.
