Drives larger than 137 GB have special issues. See this:

"In order to access drives larger than 137GB, the operating system must support 48 bit Logical Block Addressing (LBA). Service Pack 1 for Windows XP (and Service Pack 3 for Windows 2000) add this support. So you need to install the service pack if you haven't already. Note that your computer's BIOS also must be able to support 48 bit LBA. If it doesn't, you'll only be able to use the first 137GB of the disk."

about 120GB + about 20 GB = about 137GB
