I have a home computer with XP Home SP2 and I have a question.  I upgraded the hard drive from a 30GB to a 120GB hard drive but I think I messed up the partioning when I did it.  The reason I think this is that in the disk management section of the computer management program, my hard drive is listed as 111.67 GB with 79 free in NTFS and there is a listing for 125 GB with 120 free in FAT.  Is this normal or is something wrong?  When I did the original format I accepted all the defaults.  I think one was to keep the same proportions of the old drive and extrapolate them up to the new one.  Do I need to fix this and if so, how do I do it?

Thanks,
Dave
