I just got a Western digital 250GB to use as a secondary data drive for older slot1 motherboard (TYAN Trinity 400 1854). The drive is recognized in the bios at start up as the WD250 drive but when I look in MY COMPUTER it only shows my Primary drive which is a 20gd. So I run the Western Digital disk that came with the drive and that is ready to set the drive up but at only 137.4gb capacity. I looked for Bios updates and it seems that I have the current one (02/2002). Is there something else to do to recognize the full capacity of the drive?
