hard drive size reporting

Hi all,

Problem with my hard drive which is currently reported as 25GB when it
should be 80GB. My computer originally had a partioned HD so Im guessing
that I simply can't 'see' the other partions. I have not altered the file
system (currently FAT32) although I did upgrade my OS to XP pro. Any
thoughts how to find this lost memory or what might be wrong?

use disk management

also note: the size reported of your harddrive has no connection
to memory!
