I just got a 160GB HD to put in my Windows 2000 Pro Computer, but my BIOS and Windows 2000 only reads it as 130, I looked for an update for my BIOS but found none, I'm partitioning it in 2000 as 130 using the Disk Man., is there any harm "data I write to it in general" using it as a 130 this way?

lol, what are you doing with 2000 with a 160GB HDD anyways? couldn't have been that much more expensive than XP 
Why dont you just creat 2 partitions..
Since its reading it as 130 just make 2 partitions...
first with 30gb for your OS
second with 130 for everything else.
That way when you do get xp all you have to do is wipe 2000 and install XP and you wont lose a thing!
