Formatting harddrive

[Sky042]

I recently formatted my 74GB Raptor HD and partioned it to 20GB for the OS. I went ahead and did this and then installed WINDOWS XP. But now I am finding that it did not format the other 54GB of the HD.

How do I go back and format the other 54GB? Will I lose WINDOWS when I do this?

Thanks,

Matt

Yep!

from there, just add the unpartitioned space.

All you have to do is format the lettered drive you created. It should be listed in My Computer. Right click and format. Or - follow the steps outlined above. Formatting that D:\ drive won't do anything to C:\.
