Thats the EXACT problem i had On my Maxtor 80GB drive.i think u are trying to partition in DOS(ie using FDISK) because if you have bootable Win 2k/xp Cd then you wont have that problem.
what i did was that i let it format 10gb and installed windows 98 on it.
then i used Partition Magic (havent tried others) and it showed the remaining space as unalloted (i.e 70Gb).so i created a partition of 70Gb and then resized the C: drive according to my needs.
Hope this helps.
