Bring an older machine back to life after a Windows 98 non-recoverable crash.

Had the drive partitioned into C drive for applications, and D drive for data storage.

Copied off the data out of D onto another drive (temp installed in another computer).

Loaded XP onto C along with a few other things. Works fine. But that's
only 8g.

It won't show the rest of the drive. Looked in My Computer, looked in
Control Panel / Device Mgr.

How do I find it?

I suppose 1 way is to reformat the drive, but then I'd have to reload
everything. Of course would prefer to avoid that.

thanks!!
 
Well, now, wasn't that easy!

Whole thing is knowing where to look.
I guess after "all these years" I still don't
have the Windows thought process down pat.

thanks so much
