Partitioning problem

I have 2 harddrives, C: and D:, D: is a 60Gig
I used to be running WinME and I formatted only 30Gigs of D:, with Fat32.
I recently installed Win2000 over ME. C: is now NTFS. I wanted to format D: to NTFS, with to partitions, 30Gigs each. But Windows Disk Management or Partition Magic 8.0 won't see the other half that I didn't format. PM 8.0 did see an 30Gig Extended Sector. I tried formating to NTFS, but still can't see the other half.

What can I do to be able to use all 60 gigs??

I have had a bit of experience with PM 8.0, using it to make a dual boot system with Windows and Linux. I may be able to help, but I'm not sure if I understand your question.

It sounds like you may have to redistribute your free space using PM, by either adding it to your one of your existing partition, like the new D:NTFS partition, or by creating another new partition with that left over space in either the FAT32 or NTFS format. In other words, your computer won't see a partition that isn't formated unless your using XP or some type of partitioning program.

If that wasn't what you were asking, please restate your question and I'll try again.
