I have 100GB and 160GB hard drives in my XP computer. I tried using Norton Ghost to move the 100GB info to my latter drive, and it worked but with serious partition errors (windows not booting). I then moved a large amount of data to my 160, the 100 not really having changed.

It shows up as 80gb in the bios, but only as 13gb in f-disk.
What's wrong, please?
