Ni Partitions

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



My PC already has a 80GB hard disk in which WinXP Pro is installed. I
recently added another 40GB hard disk & created 4 partitions. I intend
to install WinXP in one of the 4 partitions in this new hard disk as
well (so that if WinXP in the first hard disk crashes due to some
reason, I can rely on the new hard disk which will ensure that my work
doesn't get hampered).

But when I booted my PC from the WinXP CD to install WinXP in the new
hard disk, the setup didn't list the 4 partitions separately. Instead
it just displayed the entire new hard disk as a single partition.

What's causing this? How do I make the setup detect the 4 partitions
in the new hard disk so that I can install WinXP Pro in one of the 4
partitions?
