The old hard drive is 60 GB.

Just for now I've taken out the DVD drive to hook up both HDDs, and I'm currently formatting the newer one.

NOTE: Just for future reference, the computer listed in My System isn't the same one I'm working with.
Now you tell me

then maybe you should check with Asus about a possible BIOS upgrade .. since there is an incompatibility .. it's possible that the BIOS isn't LBA48 compatible and will limit the disk size to 137GB
