you must use the NTFS file system if you use fat32 with Win XP it will limit you to one 32gig partition and leave the rest of the drive in limbo
there are ways around this if you need a fat 32 partition but also never make a fat32 partition larger than 120gig or it may over write into surrounding partitions without your knowledge.
'
Also there are jumpers settings on some drives which limit them to 32gigs check you hard drive manual
I personally would erase and wipe the drive (there are programs for free in the link in my signature / Specality programs / Boot & Nuke)
somehow you have DDO on that drive: DDO is not data recovery friendly and sooner or later you will regret its presence, guaranteed!
I would wipe the drive and start from scratch >>>>> its a long process; about 45minutes for 20gigs
