D:\ problem

[leon_belmont]

I installed MANDRAKE LINUX 8.2 in my drive D: but after some time i realised that linux needed all of the files (libraries files) for many applications to work and to me they have not work because of these files.Only FCE ultra NES emulator worked at that system,so i got really tired,bored and mad with it and i just enter at my CD DRIVE the CD 1 INSTALLATION OF that Linux and just go to manage your partitions,(is in the setup of linux) and i checked HDD which symbolise in LINUX my drive d: and i just checked the box at partition manager CLEAR ALL,and immediately turned off my PC(linux won't let me go back before defining a partition for it's fucking useless system)so now i have 25GB of unallocated space?

Any idea how to make WINDOWS XP SP 2 knows my drive ?

A step by step explanation is greatly appreciated.

(YEAH i know i am a maniac about step by step explanation)

Many thanks in advance.

I'd take a look at the Windows "Computer Management": "Start" -> "Run" -> type "COMPMGMT.MSC" and hit "Enter". When it loads: -> "Storage" -> "Disc Management". Then look at this guide
