some disks has a "big disk jumper" on the drive itself

system rescue cd might not have seen the full 160GB so you 
cannot see it after system rescue cd is no longer used and
stuck with what it thought you had
- but its more likely to be your mb bios or disk jumper problems

- gazillion other possibilities

- nothing to do with kernels as long as you can at least see
