Partition Mess up


Now this is weird.

I have an 80 GB drive currently with XP (NTFS) taking up the whole thing. I decided I wanted to partition it and throw Linux on a side, so I can test new hardware and such.

I loaded my Partition Commander diskette, and it shows the drive with one partition being XP (correct size as well as used/free space readings), but then another showing 454GB of free space!

Obviously I am aware that I have no room, but even if I do a backup of my XP files how do I fix this partition error?

I was just talking to a co-worker, and he said that Part Commander seems to have issues reading West Dig drives. I guess it is off to get Part Magic.
