Hard drive problems please help :(
I built this computer recently but when i was installing windows xp pro it only recognized ~137gb of the 250gb on the harddrive... I had no other choice at the time but to go along with it, so i formatted it to ntfs at that size.
i've upgraded windows to sp2 and most of the updates, but i cant figure out how i can go about expanding the partition to the correct size? windows only sees what was partitioned, and says its max capacity is so, but if i populate the list under the drives hardware properties it correctly lsits the drives size. it lists the missing ~107gb as unallocated space, but i cant find anywhere to format it, expand it, allocate it etc.
how can i gain back my space? i tried using partition magic 8 but it says it requires fat16/32 to install?!

You should be able to install it on a NTFS partition. I run PM8 all the time.

Then convert it to FAT 32
