Default Maxtor HDD issue

Hi, I have a 180gb Maxtor MaXLine Plus II hard drive (p/n 0050-03131-01, s/n Y66777FE), that has a label capacity of 180 gb, but shows up in windows and bios as 115 gb. I looked for it on the maxtor website, but couldn't even find this drive. Any ideas on how to fix (or at least help) this?

EDIT: The model # is 7Y120P0

How old is your motherboard?

Check your motherboard manufacturer's website and look for a bios update that adds 48-bit harddisk addressing. If there is no update for this you will need to buy a harddisk controller, a cheapy non-raid Promise can be had for around $20.
Also make sure you are using a version of windows newer than Windows 2000 service pack 4.
