495489 2006-10-31 05:56:00 Evening all, I have just installed a new hard drive and installed Windows Xp Pro. During the installation I pationed my hard drive and completed the installation except now that its complete and running it only shows c: drive which is less than half the total capacity. Do I need to erase and start again or can I fix it?? any help much appreciated. Regards Grant Espresso_Addict (8458)

See if the other 1/2 is here / shows here. It may say unallocated.

If it does right mouse / initialise / format it.
