Hi, so I re-installed Windows XP (and re-formatted) on my C: partition and left all my other ones alone. I booted into a pre-SP1 windows XP and my 300GB HD showed as 128 and not formatted. That's obviously because it's not SP2 yet but I didn't think of that and when I thought I'd lost my data I freaked out a bit. So I set the 300GB's 128GB to "active" to see if it would fix it but it didn't and now that i have SP2 I see the full HD but it's seperate in 2 and one is set to active and I can't access my data due to that. Any idea how to set it back to inactive or how to get my data or any other solution ?? Thanks a lot!

BTW I've been trying to use Partition Magic to fix this but I can't figure out what to do...
