Windows XP can ONLY recognize harddrive sizes up to 137 GB unformatted UNTIL you load

SP1 is fine too.

Have a Dell Dimension 8300 desktop. Just installed a Western Digital
160 gig hard drive without any problems. An issue is that the set up
shows the drive as 160 gig. However in Windows it shows it as a 126
gig. What's with that?
After I installed it I went to "Control Panel", "Administrative
Tools", "Computer Management", "Disk Management". There it showed
the drive as 126 gig. Of course I had to format it so I did.
So why is it shown as 126 and not 160?
