    Hello folks,

    I have a question for the technical people if I may.

    A friend got a new PC with an 80gig hard drive with no Operating system installed & while installing windows XP it asked me to create a partition and I did. I formatted it and installed XP on it. But after installation when I go into My Computer windows only shows one drive of 40gigs where it should be two drives of 40gigs each.

    Can anyone help me fix this please ?

    Thanks.

    you probably left the remainingn 40gb unpartitioned. Try find a free disk partitioner to format it

    Yeah, you have left the other 40Gig untouched. Right-click on My Computer, select manage. Go into disk management (under Storage).

    You will be able to format the partition there.

    I recommend partition magic for making and merging partitions.

    But yep as the guys said - right click my computer/ manage / disk management and create a new drive with the free space.
