here's a thought
reinstall XP onto that large HD
since you say its empty you'll have lots of room.After its installed and
running format that H drive and use it for backup/files/etc.

A 115 gb partition is a bit large for installing xp if you are going to
partition the hard drive. 15gb is a gods plenty and then partition the rest
of the HD as you want. If it were me, I would make C drive 15gb, D drive
10gb and use the E drive for the remainder of the HD. I would use D drive
for installing programs and E for data. Just a suggestion!!
