because of a problem on one of my computers, I have been forced to add the hard drive ( 250G ) as a slave on my other computer which has a main hard drive of 25G capacity.

When I look In My Computer I only have access to 32G, I remember reading somewhere that you have to make some sort of change within Windows XP in order to access anything above this 32G ceiling.

I would be very grateful if anybody could help me gain access to the rest of this hard-drive.

Try this first, right click my computer, go to manage, go to disk management, go to the drive in question and see if maybe it is partitioned. it's possible that it is partitioned and the second partition is not formatted. If this is the case, it will explain why you don't see that additional 245 Gb.
As AC said in your duplicate question, change it from FAT32 to NTFS (the likely cause under XP).
Have you got service pack 2 installed? If not do so.
