Just installed a 160.7Gb disk - Installed XP Pro but that displays
total disk size as 128GB.

What has happened to the rest of my drive? I expected a small size
differential but not 32Gb!

Thanks
 
Check your motherboard or computer manufacturer's User's Guide
and find how large a hard drive your motherboard is designed to support.
