You don't say whether Windows XP is on your master hard
drive. If it is does your slave drive show in the disk
management section? If you are not with me go to Control
Panel/Administrative Tools/ Computer Management. In the
computer management screen, on the left, there is a menu.
Click on Disk Management. If you slave drives shows up,
which it should, then right click on the drive letter
allocated to the first partition on your slave drive and
select 'delete partition' (it may say delete logical
partition depending upon how the drive is set up) either
way you need to delete it. Do the same with the 3GB
partition. Once you have deleted all the partitions on
your slave drive, again right click on the slave drive
and select 'create partition' Follow the create partition
wizard to create the first partition. I assume you want
just 'one' partition using the whole slave drive? In this
case make the partition the full 20GB.
Hope this helps
