Not possible to break. Bu Bios should detect 128Gb out of 160+ GB HDD and decent OS ike W2K/SP$, XP/SP1 , Linux and newer should be able to adress the space above 128GB. But you boot partition has to be inside the 128GB limit.
No chance with win9x unless you have a driver supporting 48 Bit LBA

You need a Bios capable of of 48 Bit LBA-adressing to have native support for HDD above 128GB. Without such a Bios you have to fall back to a 48 Bit capable OS/driver.
