Go into disc management and allocate the remaining space to a new partition. After formatting, that becomes a new drive letter with 60 Gb space available.

About the same for the other disc. Delete the old partition and make a new one that Windows recognizes.

Hope this helps.

Be sure you have SP2 installed to overcome that 127GB hard drive limitation. Otherwise you're not going to get very far.
