Assuming that your Operating System is already installed on ur 20GB hard disk cos that is the existing hard disk. Then after you plug in your new 120GB hard disk, get it detected in BIOS and Windows, you can right-click My Computer icon and select Manage. Go to Computer Management > Disk Management. Go to Disk 1, referring to ur 120GB hard disk. Right click and choose create partition. Remember to create a primary partition first. Use the max size if you would like to max out the space. Otherwise, go on creating the extended and logical partitions after your primary partition. Format each of the created partitions and voila, your drives are ready for use.

Open an MS DOS window and run fdisk(just type fdisk in the MS DOS WINDOW) and there is an option in fdisk that allows you 2 view drive partitions!\n\nHope this helps!

At this point I would repartition, reformat and re-install.  This will erase everything.\n\nIf you are running XP, insert the XP disc and reboot the computer.  When the setup program runs, you can delete the existing partitions and make a new one.\n\nYou can find instructions here:  http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=313348

you're not clear which OS you are using.first of all you need OS installed in new hardisk. Assuming you're running windows, use win98 startup disk to adjust the primary partition of new harddrive to active partition. it can be complicated venture if you haven't done it before. \n\n\ncheck link below and mainly check partitioning section

Of caurse u can,\ni'd say u have to make partitions.\ni'll need software to do that.\nwell, one above advise Partition Magic,\nbut there is another partitioning software called \nDisk Director (it's Acronis company product)\nit's cheaper for 20$ + it has some features that Partition Magic doesn't have. \nSo, considering that all,   i'd recommend u Disk DIrector

The hard drive is IDE, but has been partitioned/formatted in an odd way, specific to Xbox. Assuming you have windows XP, you need to delete the existing partition and create a new one. After that you can format it and use it like any other hard drive.  To delete/create partitions, you need to go into the control panel -> administrative tools -> computer management -> disk management. Then select the xbox drive, then delete the existing partition, then create a new one - either NTFS or FAT32. Then format it.  The xbox drives are very small - why bother? ;-)

If you have the original XP CD or the system disc that came with your computer, simply boot from the cd and choose D (for Delete) to Delete the existing partitions, and then C (for create) to add paritions. XP will ask you if you how you want to format the partition after you've created it.

firstly install OS with 10 GB as primary partition and leave the left extended patition untouched. After installation of os(in case windos xp) goto control panel>administrative tools>computer management>Disk management...and then create logical partitions following the steps....\n\n1)Right click on extended partition Shown.\n2)Then Click on New logical Drive.\n3)Select partition type(Extende,primary,Logical).\n4)Put the size of Partition as needed by you.\n5)Select drive letter(Recommende:-leave it default).\n6)Select format of file system(NTFS,FAT).\n\nand click on next.\nthe drive will be created.

The problem is the rest of your drive isn't allocated yet.\n\nYou have to understand one thing about a hard drive. Windows often leads to this confusion. Here it is....\n\nC: doesn't actually refer to a physical hard drive. It refers to the first partition on the first hard drive. You must create a new partition on the drive which will likely use the drive letter D: unless it's already in use.\n\nBy creating the new partition you allocate the rest of the space on the hard drive. You'll need to pick a file system. You should use NTFS.\n\nRead this for instructions on how to partition your drive.

the easiest way would be to use 3d party partitioning software, for example disk director. all you need is to install it, and choose what you want to do with the partitions, then follow the wizard:\nhttp://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/diskdirector/

When you boot to the Windows CD you will come to a part that allows you to re-partition your hard drive.  Use that to delete the Linux partitions.  Next create a Windows partition.  The rest should be easy.
