160gig HD Formating Problem

[Richard]

I have a PC with a bios that reports my new WD HD is indeed 160 gig.

My current 40 gig HD is NTSF one sector, XP, SP2 (release candidate).

When I put the new drive on as a slave it is designated as drive "F" and
only set up as a 120 gig sector formatted with NTSF.

How do I set this up as a Drive "C", with one sector sized at 160 gig?
Thanks.

Richard.
