Where's the rest of my hard drive?

I just installed a new hard drive, (200 GB) and partitioned the C drive at 50 GB. Thats okay, but where is the other 150 GB? I know its there, but how do I find it? It doesn't show up in my computer.

If you're using WinXP go into Disk Management to partition and format the rest of the hard drive space. Right click on My Computer, select Manage and then click on Disk Management.

Chances are that he has 150 GB of Unallocated space and just needs to add a partition and format it.
