Default Cannot see new partition on XP

I recently created a new partition on my hard drive with Partition Magic. It
now has 2 partitions C:\ and F:\. The only problem is that I cannot find the
new partition in My Computer or Windows Explorer. I can see the partition in
Partition Magic and in Windows Disk Defragmenter, but not anywhere else. If
I open up the other user, the drive is there....we are both set up as
administrators.

What gives?

Scott

Did you format the new partition?

I formatted the new partition with disk manager in XP....still no luck.

I can see the partition in disk manager, defragmenter and Partition magic
AND on the other user account I have on this machine. Why not on the side
where it was installed?
