Have you extended the partition to the extra space?  
To Clarify, when you look at the partition in Disk Manager it is LARGER than if you look at it in Windows Explorer.  Just making sure that you have changed the size of the partition from DM.

Hi Yes that's correct, we have resized the partition (its actually on a HP EVA) and it shows up in disk management as the partition is now 170GB however when you look at it via explorer it still shows 150GB

Thanks
