Loss of HDD Space after reformat

Hey there, I've got a Western Digital 160 GB HDD. I just finished a reformat and noticed that I had around 37 GB in total. Is there a way to fix it so I've got 120 GB free again?

Re: Loss of HDD Space after reformat

Is the hard drive partitioned into 37 and 120 GB to give the total 160 GB?
How did you reformat?

Re: Loss of HDD Space after reformat

What I did was I placed the Windows XP Setup CD into the drive and rebooted into the setup. Then I went and deleted the only partition on the drive
