Hidden HP Partition

by andy . Updated 20 years, 3 months ago

I’ve just aquired a 80gb hard drive from an old HP machine that died. I want to use this HD in my PC as a slave, the problem is it’s only showing up as a 76GB drive. Now, i’m fully aware that HP used to put the Windows XP installation files in a hidden partition… My question is how can I delete that hidden partition thus feeing up the extra space on the drive.

I’ve tried KILLDISK but that still only recogonises the drive as a 76GB drive and not a full 80GB drive.
