Partitioning with FDISK

Comment:
I have a 12 Gb Western Digital harddisk which I would like to split into 3 partitions. I made with FDISK a 5 Gb Primary C partition, a 7 Gb extended partition which excists out of a 5 Gb and a 2 Gb partition. Everything worked out fine, except when I installed WindowsXP Pro, and I open "This Computer" it says that my C partition is only 2 Gb!. I checked again with FDISK and Partition Magic 8 and it says the C partition is 5 Gb. Am I doing something terribly wrong? Any thoughts on this?
