Installed a Western Digital 320GB hard drive and installed Windows XP. As it was installing it asked if I wanted to set up a partition. I set it for 100GB/220GB. The smaller drive is showing up, but not the larger. I go to device manager and the WD 320GB is there. It says Disc: 0 / Type: Basic / Status: Online / Partition Style: Master Boot Record (MBR) / Capacity: 305242MB / Unallocated Space: 205244MB / Reserved Space: 0, ans at the bottom under Volumes it has Local Drive (I) capacity: 99998MB. What did I do wrong, and how do I get the other part to show up. Thank you.

go into disk management if it is xp pro, and format the second partition if it is RAW, if formatted give it a drive letter :) That'll fix it !
disk management is in the services snap in in the ctrl panel under computer mgmt btw.
