My motherboard is "Acorp 7kmm1". I put a HDD SEAGATE 160 GB.
Then my BIOS detect that the HDD has capacity 139 GB. And when I try to install windows it's write "Error loading operation system".
Please could you tell me what is the problem and how can I fix it.
Thank you!

You also need to tell us how old your computer is. Some older models without 32-bit addressing cannot use more than around 130 GB no matter how big the hard drive is.

Try Flashing the BIOS on the MotherBoard. PC's somtimes cannot see all of a drive if they are upgraded with a drive that is beyond the capabiltiy of the BIOS. I searched for that brand and didn't find any direct hits for that model. But do some searches for "Acorp 7kmm1 flash BIOS" and see what you find.
Hope this helps.

If the drive is a SATA drive, then you need to load the SATA drivers during the installation to make it work properly. You didn't provide the model number o f the seagate so there is no way to know what type it is.
