Please Help!

Windows XP is not recognizing All Available Disk Space in
my STORAGE drive (not my OS drive). I have a 180 GB
storage drive (western digital IDE) that is partitioned
into 3 - 60 GB drives. They worked fine for 4 months.
For some reason one of the 60 GB drives crashed and I
lost the data. After reformatting and cleaning up that
partition, the drive capacity now reads as 16.6 GB. What
happened to my remaining 34 GB of space?

The drive is completely empty. There are no visible or
hidden files that I can see within explorer. How can I
regain access to this lost drive space?

Thank you!

The partition table for that drive is probably damaged. Suggest you delete
the partition, create a new one (this will create a new partition table) and
then format the partition.
