Partitioning hard drives

I have an 80gb external harddrive. I used fdisk to format it but there didn't seem to be an option to not partition the drive so I did and now the drive says it is only 1.99gb in size. I'm guessing the rest is the other side of teh partition?? but I don't know how to get to that. Can I just reformat the drive? do I have to make a partition? and if so can I make it as large as I like? that way I can have as much of the drive as possible in one section, if that makes sense

Thanks

Connect the drive to the XP computer,
Right click on my computer and select "manage"
On the left hand side click "disk management"
On the right hand side all the discs on the computer will be displayed as bars.
Right click on the drive in question and you will see the options available,
Partitioning, formating and others.
