Please Help!

I have a Compaq 9642, P233MMX, 80MB / 7.3GB (2 hard drives) that I have
recently upgraded.

I successfully installed the HD and everything actually works, but my
problem is that my original 1.6 GB HD is now only giving me 499 MB of space;
when you go into the F10 Setup, it shows as 1.6GB, but in Windows, I can
only get 499 MB.

This is a SERIOUS problem for me now in that it is the Primary Drive, so all
of the system files and everything are on this drive.  I have cleared off
all of the original Compaq garbage that I could, but now I am out of space -
I had to clear room to save the registry a few minutes ago.

I would be forever indebted to anyone who can help me solve this problem
ASAP.

Thank you in advance; please respond to me directly.
