Lost GB on new hard drive

[eXistenZ]

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
Version: 5.00.2195 Service Pack 4
=========================

I bought a new hard drive 200GB

But it only shows 127GB in Windows.

What happened to the other 70 or so GB??

Any help or advice appreciated.

Yes, that worked.
After reboot PartitionMagic showed 60GB
of unallocated space...I then created a new partition
using the 60GB.

Thankyou!
