I was wondering what the limit was.  Searching the internet, it seems 
that 128 gb is the limit for the bsd's to read.  Should have searched 
first.  Only got the 160 gb because of the good sale price, otherwise it 
would have been an 80 gb. 

I guess the only way to use it then would be to repartition?
