Default hp pavilion zt1155 partition space

Hi:

I have recently made the mistake of using Windows NT to repartitions my
hard drive. I deleted all partitions using Windows NT cd and then
created a partition that was only 1.99 gigs.

Now, I'm trying to figure out how to get all my disk space
back...because with a Windows ME boot disk I've run fdisk and can only
delete and recreate another partition 1.99 gigs big when in the BIOS it
says the hard drive is 20 gigs.

Please help. Thanks

Delete what you have and start over. When fdisk asks about large disk
support, say yes as that is fat 32 which allows bigger than 2 gb partitions.
