Not getting 100% hard drive capacity

[Mission]

Hey, i just built my new system...everythings set up...i went to install windows..and it said that my hard drive capacity is only about 131GB when i have a 250GB hard drive. could it be maybe the sata plug i picked? jumpers? firmware?...im completly stumped...it's never happened to me before. thanks for anything!
