160 gb drive in old system

Correct the live cd only sees part of the drive.  It is a Maxtor drive brand
new out of the box. Fdisk shows two disks but only one is accessible it says
hda is 61gb and hdd is 160.  I cannot access anything but hda.

When you say Gentoo only sees 61GB, you mean you booted from a Gentoo
Live CD and it only sees that much space?

What kind of hard drive is it?  What does fdisk -l show you?  Is this
a clean drive, or do you already have NTFS partitions on it?
