Hey guys got a tough one here, my computer was acting funny (running slow and the sort) so I decided to refomat. I have a 200gb harddrive and it was partitioned into a 130gb and 70gb one. I deleted the smaller partition and now I cant find any way of getting it back. I 've tried formatting the larger one again and reloaded windows and it still onnly sees it at a 127ish gb hard drive. I went into BIOS (at boot up) and it says there its 200gb. So how can I get my lost memory back?

Thanks

if yr running you boot from the xp install disk you should delete both partitions when prompted, then reset the new partition th the maximum available size before formatting, tho xp will leave a buffer of about 8 meg free space. if that doesnt work try using partition magic to extend and reformat the existing one.
