Default My harddrive capcity is only 29.2GB instead of the full 160GB

Hey guys.

Basically, ive been having problems with my pc freezing when playing games and i can't think of anyway of fixing it without having to buy something.

So what ive decided to do is reformat my PC. I took another harddrive from another pc, installed it onto my pc so i could put my files inside it before i start over.

My pc correctly found the harddrive and i format it before i put my files inside it. However, after formating it, my harddrive capcity is only 29.2GB instead of the full 160GB which it should be.

The hard drive is Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 160GB. I dont know what the names of the plugs i used :S

Any help would be great.

Thanks

What Operating System did you use to format the drive ? ....and did you format it from within Windows as a slave drive or ??
