I just install a new WD 160GB harddisk to my computer. In
the bios it reported to be WD160GB drive. After log into
window2k pro to create partition and format... the
reported capacity is only 137,436,168,192 bytes
(127GB).... what is wrong?

If you addressed the kb305098 article *after* having formated the disk You
iether have to partition /format the free space or delete the existing
partition and reformat.
If your win2k disk is an earlier version the installation will not recognise
a large disk, you will have to slipstream the service pack into a new
inst.disk.
