I have just done a fresh xp home install on my 500g hard drive, But i partitoned the drive into 175 and 325.i placed the Windows OS on the 175.All works well etc however my 325 partition isnt showing up at all.
Anyone know why this has happened and is there anything i can do to ensure the other half of the drive shows up?
Any advice or info would be appreciated.

Hello. The think the following should sort it out. Right-click My Computer, select manage, then 'disk management' on left. You should then see your two partitions on the right. Right-click on the partition in question and select 'Mark partition as active'. You can also format the drive here if necessary.

Hi there.
What did you use to partition your Drive?
When you Installed your operating system, Did you Install it to the Correct Drive?
