Hard Drive Partition

Just had a new Optimus V delivered with a 320GB hard drive

I asked for it to be partitioned with 100gb put aside for general data (Windows etc...) and the remaining 220gb for games etc...

I can only see the 100gb data drive, there is no sign of the remaining 220gb when I've gone looking.

I'm on windows 8, can anyone tell me where the remainder of my hard drive is hidden?

Cheers

Check in disk management to see if the drive is showing there,
To open disk management in windows 8,
http://pcsupport.about.com/od/windows-8/a/disk-management-windows-8.htm
For windows 7,click "Start"/right click"computer"/Manage/under "Storage"select "Disk Management",
or click "start" and type diskmgmt.msc in search box.
It's possible you only need to assign a Drive letter,If no letter is assigned for the drive,
right click on the bar of the drive in the lower half of the screen,
select "change drive letter and paths"
click on the Add button in the next menu to select a drive letter.
Click ok to assign selected drive letter or choose your own letter from the drop down menu.
If the drive is showing as unallocated,
right click on the black bar of the "unallocated drive",
click on "new simple volume"then follow the wizard.
check in "computer" to confirm missing drive is showing.
