I have reformatted my drive (80GB) and put a 40GB partition in place. Now XP
can only see the 40GB partition. How do I get XP to recognise and pick up the
40GB??

If you're referring to the 'other' 40GB on your hard disk, you need to
format it.

Thanks Ted,
Can I do this from XP without starting the format process again?
