I've recently attempted to dual boot XP and linux and unfortunately my primary IDE drive got corrupted so I decided to start again. I know the drive has 194Gb (approx) and this is what showed when I got into the partitioning part of the windows install process, but when I delete this partition to create two partitions, I'm left with 130gb rather than 194gb.

If I then use FDISK and create a single partition, it's back up to 194Gb!!!

Any ideas? I'm getting a bit desperate, because I don't want to lose 60gb of disk space!
