Cant see partition

[cwheeler]

Hi all,
I recently built a new computer and when installing xp 64 bit, i decided to create a partition for all my data. so i made one thats 40 Gb for OS and a few other things and one that is 210Gb. When i finished installing drivers, to my surprise, i could only see the 40gb partition in my computer...
any ideas on how to get the other to show? this was a brand new hard drive, never been used btw.

Thanks all

Did you create the partitions during the install procedure itself?

If so, you probably need to go into Disk Manager, format the partition to NTFS, and assign a drive letter to it.
