IDE drive misreporting size

[Moose]

Hi guys,

wondering if you guys can help, just installed a 250GB
harddrive in one of our windows 2000 servers. The BIOS
picks it up as a 250GB drive but windows is reporting it
(in disk management) as 128GB. We have service pack 4
installed and its fully patched and can't figure it out.

anyone know whats going on?

Cheers
