Hi

Hopefully somebody can provide a solution to my problem.

I reinstalled WinXP onto my C drive, but during the
installation Windows only listed my 160GB harddrive as
137GB, and so only formatted it as that and created my C
drive.

Now I have installed large drive support and the latest
Atapi driver, but I don't know how I can get WinXP to
allocate the remaining 23GB or so and add it to the other
137GB on my C drive, short of a full reinstall of my OS.
I can create another partition (and call it F drive or
whatever), but this is not my preferred option.

Any ideas how I can get the full 160GB showing as my C
drive? Note that I do have another drive running on SATA
that I could copy to.

Thanks!
