700037 2008-08-24 22:36:00 I have just reinstalled Windows XP with 20GB partition intended for the operating system. The other partition does not show in My Computer or under explore. The BIOS shows the drive correctly at 200 GB. Where is the partitioned drive, and how can I access it? Thanks. RichardR-S (8905)
700038 2008-08-24 22:40:00 Go to control panel / admin tools / computer management / disk management.

The rest of it should be here and show as unallocated. Right mouse on it and format it

700040 2008-08-26 00:00:00 What is the path to allocate a drive no? Thanks. RichardR-S (8905)
700041 2008-08-26 00:04:00 You dont need a path. After you format it, it'lll allocate a letter Speedy Gonzales (78)
700042 2008-08-26 11:36:00 Go to Disk manager, right click on the partition, select change/add/remove drive letter and do it! If there is already a letter on the partition, look to see if it is hidden. If required you can reformat it. mzee (3324)
