old motherboards 160 HDD

Recently, I decided to download the files used to flash my bios and allow my new 160GB harddrive to fully be accepted by my motherboard. Before, the motherboard was only able to see 130GB of the hdd because it was too old to recognize a full 160GB.

So then I flashed the Bios and went into windows but it said that there were only 130GB on that drive (viewed under drive management) and it should have put that extra space as unused or unpartitioned space. I can not understand whether this was a problem with windows XP or the bios?
 
right click on my computer and go to manage and then in disk management you will be able to see what exactly is going on... maybe it did recognize that extra space but its just sitting there...
 
To see the full drive, your bios has to support it(which I assume is why you updated your bios), and windows xp has to have sp1 or sp2 installed.
