im running windows xp and ive just attached a 2nd hard dive which is running as a slave drive. its an 80 gig hard drive and when i booted up the pc, xp detected the slave drive. in my computer it only shows the drive as 2 patitions each 1.99 gig and with the fat (not fat32) file system. how then from within xp can i format the whole drive back to ntfs and showing as 80 gig?..

select Mange
Click on Disk Management

And you now have the freedom to remove the two partitions and re-create a second :-)

If you can find a "Mange", then take it to the vet... :)

Otherwise "Manage"
