This sounds like a BIOS problem. Before, i think, 2003 roughly OS's were limited in the size of the hard drive they could see. This was due to the Fat32 file system. Is that what you are using? If so then you will have to partition the drive to be able to see the full drive.
NTFS can see all sizes. Fat32 can not.
