Red face Need help partitioning a new HDD

Ok, I'm a little embarassed that I'm asking for help with this.

I always build my own PCs from parts and they're always awesome machines. (P4-3.06ghz, 1gb RAM, 256mb GeForce FX5600) etc.

But, my mother asked me to install an additional HDD into her PC. I got her an 80gb drive and hooked it up. However, I do not remember how to Fdisk the drive, short of hooking it up as the Primary Master, booting off the WinXP CD and going from there. The BIOS knows the drive is there, but WinXP can't see it and I don't remember how to partition it into a useable drive.

There's gotta be an easier way, but I don't remember it. Can anyone please help?
