Partition Problems

[RD Gibby]

I have an 80GB Western Digital hard drive that was
partitioned in to two 40GB drives with Windows XP. I
upgraded to a faster system and moved this drive to the
new computer (it is a slave drive in both locations). The
new computer did not give me any error messages, but it
couldn't see the second partition. The space for the
second partition appeared to be allocated as used based on
the free disk space. I move the drive back to the
original computer to recover the files. The old computer
recognized the partition as a logical drive, but saw it as
a partition of the C: drive. The C: drive is only a 40GB
drive. I was able to copy the files off the partition,
but could not delete the partition because the computer
thought it was part of the system (C drive. I removed
the drive and placed in back in the new computer. The old
computer still shows a 40 GB partition that doesn't
exist. The new computer does not see any problems with
the disk and shows it as an 80GB drive, but I can only
access 40GB. I need to get the "ghost" drive off the old
machine and access the other 40GB of my hard drive. Any
ideas? I am at my wits end trying to solve this one.
Thanks.

Use Partition Magic v8 or if all data is off the subject drive - reformat it
using the NTFS file structure
