Your machine only supports 128GB drives. To use a larger
drive, put it into an external case, get a ATA/IDE 133Mhz PCI
Controller card to connect the drive to, or use SpeedTools

If you have this drive already in an external case, it must be
an older case not supporting larger drives.

Dont listen to either of those two, it has NOTHING to do with the IDE controller in your G4. It also has NOTHING to do with any "external casing"
You also did not provide a good description. I assume that the problem is that you simply let your machine formated and partition the drive by itself. You need to go into the "Disk Utility" and "re-partition" the drive. More description is needed.
