Sounds like you've hit the 137Gb barrier which is apparent with Win 2K when
not fully updated.
Suggest you look on WD's website.
There will be information there on how to overcome this issue.

WD web page - Support - FAQ
"The full capacity of EIDE drives larger than 137GB (128GB binary) is not
recognized in Windows 2000/XP."
Full details there.

That's fun...

Slipstream anything SP2 or higher, do a new install, and you'll be able to
format the drive with full capacity (48 bit LBA is what you're looking for)
at that point. Otherwise upgrade to SP4 and partition the empty space as a
new drive.
