See the following at Maxtor:

There are three solutions to this problem.

The problem is either with your MB BIOS, or the OS are not supporting/providing
48-Bit LBA compliant ATA/ATAPI controller drivers.

For W2K, you need at least SP3.  (With XP you need SP1.)
If you have the proper service pack installed, you might need a BIOS upgrade
or  an add-in Ultra ATA PCI adapter card with a 48-Bit LBA compliant BIOS
and controller driver. The adapter card bypasses the system BIOS and operating
system’s controller driver and uses its own BIOS and controller driver.

>W2K detects only 130GB of a 300GB Maxtor
> I installed a Maxtor 5400 rpm 300GB hdd into a P4-2.8hz system.  When I brought it up and went to computer management to create
one large partition I found that the system only recognized 130GB for the 300GB drive.  Anyone have any ideas what I need to do to
get the whole 300GB recognized?  The system is built around an Intel D865GBFL motherboard.  Any thoughts would be appreciated!
