Help! New hard drive thinks it is half its true size!

My laptop has a 60 GB hard drive. As of right now, it only has about 800 MB left on it. I purchased a new hard drive, this one 120 GB. I purchased a data transfer kit to send my operating system and an exact copy of my hard drive over to the new one. However, My operating system did not copy over. In addition to this, my 120 GB hard drive is now saying that its total capacity is 60 GB. Even partition magic says this and when I try to reformat it, it still says it. How do I fix this? How do I get my new hard drive back to 120 GB capacity and off of this false 60 GB capacity?
