The windows use some space for space addresing but not that much
It shoves 149 GB because manufacterers use the terms gigabyte in metric (base ten) way.
IT means 160 GB = 160 * 1000 MB = 160 000 * 1000 KB= 160 000 000 * 1000 Bytes
when you convert that in Gigabyte that computer use (1GB = 1024MB, 1MB = 1024 KB, 1 KB = 1024 Bytes) you get:
160 000 000 000 Bytes = 160 000 000 000 /1024 KB = 156250000 / 1024 MB = 152587,890625 / 1024 GB = 149,011 GB
After you format and partion the drive,windows allocates some space to differnt things,you probably cannot undo this..
