If the BIOS sees the drive as 160G, it supports 48-bit LBA.
To do an install using a parititon over 137G, you must have SP1 minimum on the installation CD. With the original version of XP, you're limited to a 137G partition (you can create a smaller partition to use the rest of the disc after you've installed SP3).
