Right click on my computer, go to manage, then go to disk management. It should show the unpartitioned space. Right click on the shaded box area and it should offer a drop-down menu to format and partition it how u like.

also, for future reference, you can partition your disks and assign drive letters during your XP installation. I prefer to do it that way as you can letter your drives how you like w/out having to change and rearrange them in disk management.
