How do you use Disk Management in Windows XP to format or partition a drive if it doesn't recognize the full volume of the drive after removing old partitions?

Windows will never be able to fully recognize all the file space the drive offers. For example if you have a 120 GB drive you will probably only see 111 GB, or something similar to that. The reason for this is that yes, you have 120 GB, when the drive is RAW. Once you put a file system on the drive, then you take up a little bit of space. Refer to the Microsoft article, " How to use Disk Management to configure basic disks in Windows XP" to better understand how to use Disk Management.

Hope this solves your problems.
