Did you format the whole 160, or only 100?

it means you still have another partition, D of 60gb

If you just formatted the partitions, you didn't change any sizes. The
existing partitions were used.

If you were intending to use the entire disk for one large partition, you
needed to delete the partitions during the Vista install, and create one new
one.

Now, you may be able to back up whatever is on the D partition (if
anything), delete that partition, and expand the C partition.
