It sounds as though the low level format is the way to go, then.
I've seen similar issues with some disk overlay software, but Maxtor,
for instance, allows you to reverse this effect.

The 160 Gb size is reported during POST.
However when partitioning is tried, the Seagate
tools have programmed the drive to report
only 32 Gb available.
I have never formatted to FAT 32.
I have already formatted
for NTFS and installed Windows XP plus SP 1.
When an attempt is made to boot from the hard
drive the computer reports that a file is missing
and says to try rebooting. Rebooting just takes
you back to the same notice.
I believe that the file that is missing
is the test file for NTFS systems which
Windows XP has not installed.
