I bougth a Maxtor 200GB harddrive yesterday and installed it onto my computer. However my computer seems to only recognize that its around 130 something gigabytes... is there any way to fix this problem?

Question

I have a drive that is larger than 137 GB but the operating system only recognizes 128 GB or 137 GB. How can I fix this?
...

I could paste the entire thing here, but there are links which won't come through.

What file system are you running? Fat32 or NTFS? I think (unless something changed that I don't know about) that Fat32 only supports up to 137gb... while NTFS goes up to 4 terabytes.

yup, and the 48bit LBA thingy is also something that may help!
