I just bought a Maxtor 160 gig ATA 133 8mb cache and started to format it with the windows 2000 cd and it only picks up as 130 gig. The jumper is set as Master, its on IDE 1. I have a maxtor 80 gig as a slave on IDE 1. CD ROM on IDE 2 as master.

When it boots up it shows that its a 160 and when I go to format it its 130. Anyone know why, thanks.
