(no this isnt the 'why do i lose 5% of my hard drive space to formatting, wahh... RETARD question)

New hard drive, its a SATA150 400gb WD hard drive, WD4000YR.

Plug it in, unpartitioned, only 150gb.

When i first plugged in, and ran WD tools, it said it needed to update my registry to go up from any 137gb drive, did so... and ended up showing up as 150gb.

So i checked the BIOS, it only shows 150gb too.

I'm using it as secondary drive, so i can function without it...

Any suggestions if the bios isnt even showing the right capacity?
