Using a new PC.

Specs are Athlon 64 3700 + 2GB RAM +200GB HDD.

Came without operating system so loaded XP Pro on myself. At start of
install it asked if I wanted to partition. Wanted OS and system on separate
virtual drives so clicked yes but now the C drive is the only one that shows
and it's showing 64GB instead of 200.

What have I done -are more importantly, can I fix it???

Thank you - at least I can see the rest of the drive.
Now what do I do to actually use it?
