    Google this,
    It happens to most people trying to use large harddrives the cpu bios caps off at 127gb. You can use a program like partionmagic to fully unlock it, but typically it requires it to be reformated completely...
    Best of luck

    Looks like the bios does not recognize drives over 137 Gig. There is a Microsoft fix if you are using Windows 2000, and another fix here if your are using Windows XP with SP1. Update to SP2 will include the fix.
