Samsung SP1604N hard drive advice

Having trouble installing a new Samsung SP1604N 160Gb hard drive.

My mobo is an ASUS A7M266 with BIOS flashed to latest (1007).

The BIOS auto-detects the hdd as the following:-

cylinders 1024
heads 255
sectors 63
chs 8422
max LBA 160041

I don't think this is correct.
Samsung website useless.
Nothing written on the drive.


Anyone got one of these drives that could let me have your settings?

Thanks.
Seems like my mobo with latest flash *should* support 48 bit LBA .
I'm trying to install WinXP Pro SP1

Confused about drivers, when I built this pc (seems ages ago now) I
installed VIA 3-in1 drivers, normal 4-in-1 drivers weren't suitable.
If drivers are the cause of my problem how can I install them b4
installing windows?

Will a udma133 hdd run on this mobo? It supports udma100
