xp format problem with seagate hard drive



hi
built my brand new system, amd x2 4400 with 160 seagate 3 Gb/s hd.
First xp setup only sees 130 GB of the 160. Then when i tried to format
it with the xp cd, it freezes at different %. The machine boots up fine
and it sees all the components. The hd formats fine with another pc
with a P4 chip, so i know it's not the hd's problem. Help anyone? Any
suggestion would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
