hard drive woes

Just bought a 160gb drive, created a 30gb partition and installed win XP..The Bios is only detecting a max size of 138GB, (which currently stands as 3 partitions)which is not a problem as in two weeks im upgrading me Mobo, RAM and CPU. I dont wish to flash the BIOS on this mobo at the mo as I have managed to ragg two boards before with attempting this lark.

My question is, when I upgrade my mobo I assume the missing GB of space will be recognised within the BIOS/XP, will i need to reformat the whole hard drive again, or will the remaininig found space just need to be a created partion formatted in disk managment?
