Formatting A Split Hard Drive

Before I formatted my 20 gig hard drive, it was split into 2 sections (drives C and D, both visible after I clicked on "My Computer"). After formatting it and reinstalling Windows 98 SE, I only have a C drive on the hard disk. However, my computer indicates that drive C is only 12 gigs, not 20. I doesn't seem to recognize the space I used on the hard drive for drive D before I formatted it. What did I do wrong and how could I fix this? Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Hmmmmm.... so FDISK sees it, I assume DOS can see it? You may need to format the drive for W98 to see it, dunno :)
 
Previously what OS did you use?

Did you format "D" drive using NTFS file system?

Win 9X cant see NTFS file system.
 
if you're installing xp during installation u can choose to delete that partition then you'll get the unpartition space back on ur drive c. then u just select quit lol. thats what i did.
