Maybe?

Maybe SP4 might correct this?

If you're using Windows Explorer to "see" the disk, it only shows
existing partitions. If you use Disk Management, it shows the entire
disk, existing partitions plus unallocated space.

I ran into the same problem but had SP4. It does not add the missing keyword to the registry EnableBigLBA. The Seagate install utility checked the BIOS and I had to update the BIOS but it did not catch the missing LBA entry in Registry. I formatted the 160G (SATA) drive; thought everything was fine; loaded the OS and proceeded to use the drive (after intalling all hotfixes and SP4). When I exceeded the 137G boundary it proceeded to overwrite itself and self destructed, so I learned the hard way.
