BOOTCAMP -- space taken but drive wasnt made??

[twerk]

this isnt the first time that i have done bootcamping
but today when i was making the partition i accidentally hit cmd Q and bootcamp closed (i was meaning to close safari) BUT the space that i was partitioning is currently being taken up
so i whipped in my os x disk and ran disk utility to repair the disk but its still being used up..
i then tried repairing permissions just to see if that would help any
but no luck
any clues?

i just tried running disk utility again and my disk has a capacity of 147.8 gb

so it says i have 28.2 gb free and 88.6 used
totalling 116.8 gb

the other 31 gb is ... still gone

Here, we will get back your space.

Go to your Disk Utility window. (Search Disc Utility)
Click on your main drive. (Ex. Mine is TOSHIBA Blah Blah)
Click on Partition
Click on the partition that you want to erase, and click the "-" (minus) sign.
Then, See where is says "Macintosh HD"? Click and drag the bottom of the edge of the rectangle all the way down.
Now click apply.
Now start bootcamp again, goodluck! Reply if it worked or not!

mm k so i followed those exact steps
except the drive was never created thus.. there is nothing to minus/delete
i took the liberty of uploading a screen shot so u can see what im dealing with here

also the dragging to the bottom... its already at the bottom

did you try to run bootcamp again?

you mean try and partition the drive again
but kinda tricking the computer into using the fakely used space?

You could just boot into your Restore DVD, run Disk Utility and expand the partition.
