Right-click My Computer and choose Manage. Go to the Disk Management section. You should see the drive there, probably with no partitions made. Just make a new partition with the empty space, and format it with the file system of your choice...

I second that.

Disk management in XP is quite powerful, and I have used it alot since I found it. Best way to do it, easiest and its free (PQ $$$).
