Default Seagate 250bg Showing at 127GB

Hey,
I got a 250gb Seagate Baracuda and since installation it's been showing up as 127GB. I've flashed/updated the bios and when I check the volume/populate via windows it sais...

Capacity: 238473 MB
Unallocated Space: 107411 MB

And below that it sais

Capacity 121062 MB...

Completely lost lol.

Any help would be appreciated as I'm filling it up

Well wait, it sounds like this might be an OS issue?

What are you running and which service pack?

For Windows 2000 you need SP-3 with 48-bit reg patch applied (and SP4 as well). For Windows XP you need SP1. Well just a stab in the dark I guess.

Make sure you have SP2 for Windows XP. Then you can partition it to the max space. You need Partition Magic or similar. Email me @ peterhuang913@gmail.com, mention your TF name, and I'll send you Partition Magic so you can see all your space.
