Tell us something about the system, like make/model, the date of the BIOS, the O/S you run. If the BIOS reads it as a 33gig drive, it sounds like you have an old BIOS or a capacity limitation jumper installed.

You will need to use WD Data LifeGaurd tools to reset the HDD back to the correct size. Trust me. I've ran into this before.
