Partitioned Hard Drive

[Guest]

I recently installed windows 2000. I have partitioned my Maxtor 120g hard drive into 2 partitons but only one of the partition comes up in "My Computer". Where can I find the other drive with the other 67 gigs on it?

Do you see it in Disk management? Right click my computer manage.

Yes it shows as UnAllocated but I still can't find it? It shows Volume C: with the 62.39 GB and the unallocated with the 52.10 GB

You'll need to partition, format and then assign it a drive letter (though
Disk Management). Then you find it in My Computer

What you did, by creating a partition in the unallocated disk space (and
then formatting it) was turn the unallocated (and useless, to the
operating system) space into space that the operating system could name
(E and make available to itself and to you. There will be a pop quiz
