OK, first go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com and download Service
Pack 1 and install it. Now right click on My Computer, click Manage,
click Disk Management. You should now see that it reads as 160 GB, but
you may or may not be using all of the space. The partition that was
created may only be 137 GB and you will have an extra 12 GB of space
unallocated. You can make this into a new partition if you like or if
you have XP Professional, you could make your disk dynamic and expand it
to include the extra 12 GB, but this would require a little more help.

As for the sutting down, try this. Click Start-Run-Type regedit and
click OK. Now expand until you find this directory:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\
Once in there, find this value: PowerdownAfterShutdown and change it to
1. If it does not exist, right click say new and create it
