470398 2006-07-12 20:29:00 I installed a 80gb western digital slave hard drive and it is a couple of years old and was running windows 98. I formatted it and installed it on my newer computer that is running Windows XP. It recognizes it ok but is only showing like 38 or 39 gigs. I know it has something to do with how it was partitioned for the older computer. How can I fix this? Thanks in advance. Joe_Halt (10712)

Right click MyComputer and choose Manage.
Select Disk Management. Look at the 2nd drive - it should show you if there is more than 1 partition or not.
