    Hi; I installed win xp pro, but when I got to the point about partition, I did not know that I have already a partition (my Hd is brand new??) so I choose whatever was highlited and at the end of the installation I noticed that the drive C is only 9g but my HD is 80 g, I do not find the other 71g, I can see all my hard drive in the bios.
    So I was thinking that maybe if I removed completly windows and star from cero (clean install) I can make a better choice.
    Can I do that? or what should I do?
    I tried already with partition magic but does not want to get install, so I want to leave it in peace for now.
    If is possible what will be my best option about the partition when installing win xp?.
    Thank you

    My C drive is only 4gig in size. It all depends on what you want to with it as to how you set it up. I have it set like that because I dual boot & use xcopy to reinstall windows. If you just want to get the other partition active insert the xp cd & boot up. (Have the cd rom to boot first in the bios.)

    Have a look here. The third picture down is where you should see that space that you want to make into a partition.

    hi, I used disk management and now everything is fine, I can see all the hard drive, at the same time I made a couple of partitions. The problem was that the rest of the hard drive was not formatted.
    Thank you
