That's why.
48bit LBA is built into SP1 or you need the specific KB update to make WinXP compatible
with 48bit LBA.
If you had installed a slipstreamed WinXP SP1 from the onset then you would have seen the
full capacity of the drive. Since it is already partitioned it makes things a bit more
difficult. You may be able to get around this with Symantec Ghost 2003 if you can image the
137GB data to say DVD, tape or another hard disk then restore the image back to the drive
and it should use the full 160GB capacity.
