Big hard drives

I just finished building a new computer and among the components is a 160GB hard drive. Now, everything on the system runs beautifully (if a little hot), but Win XP Pro claims the hard drive only has 127GB total. I've had it suggested that Windows can only see up to a certain amount. Is this true? And if so, will creating a partition solve the problem?
Details:

Maxtor HD 160GB 7200rpm 8mb cache
Windows XP Pro
Intel Motherboard
