Default 500GB External HD with XP

I plugged a MAC-formatted 500GB external hard drive into the USB port
of my Windows XP PC which has 20GB and 40GB "C" and "D" drives.

In "Disk Management" I was only given an option to set up a new
partition. Now the drive shows as only 17.76GB.

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong or should do next?


Have you formatted the disk? If not do so. Right click on the disk in
'My Computer'. A Quick Format will do
