Then your partitioning was fucked.
Make a
DBAN CD. Boot from that and let it entirely nuke the HD, then reinstall Windows. This is one of the most non-techy ways to correct a messed up partition table.
Alternatively, you should be able to change the size of the partitions with resize utilities such as Partition Magic - but if the BIOS sees it as 10GB, DBAN can usually coax it back to a 'never used, don't override' for some really strange IDE firmware.
