Bought a 160gb Samsung HDD. Installed, partitioned, formatted. Ended
up with 127gb. What happened to 33gb of space. I'm lost.

it is due to the bios of your machine not being able to recognize
a larger drive
unless there is a bios upgrade to allow a larger drive
you will need to purchase a pci controller that can handle it

What version of Windows are you using, and how many bit FAT are you using?
At the vary minimum, Windows 98 Edition 2 would be required to start with.
FAT 32 should be used. NTFS would be better, but this would require an NT
type operating system.
If all is in compliance, most of the time, these types of faults are from
the BIOS capability of the machine. If you make multiple partitions, then is
should work in most cases. Normally, FAT 32 should be able to handle your
disk size.
Here is a good FAT information site.
