Raptor drive management question

I believe that you need XP SP2 to properly support LBA48 so you probably created the partition before installing SP2. Now you find a way to resize that volume. I don't believe the GUI tools will do it in XP and I'm not sure about the disk part cli tool if that's even included with XP.
 
It looks like you installed XP, then updated to SP2. Your hard drive went from 32-bit LBA (with a max hd size of ~137gb) to 48-bit LBA. It now has the previously unrecognized space as unallocated. Diskpart.exe can be used to extend volumes if they are system volumes--in this case, they are. So you will either need to use a 3rd party partition manager to resize the primary partition (I personally stay away from these types of programs though, but YYMV), or just format that volume and use it for something. I would format it and use it as a place to store shared docs, downloads, or thumb drives images.
