This usually because you didn't install the super large size hard drive access utility on it.
Or you fdisked and formatted with a version that limits you to 2.1 gb drive size. Or you didn't tell it you wanted large drive support.
See if you drive manufacturer has a large drive disk manager available.
You might also want to look on the web for "hard drive limits" and see what has created this problem for you. Ed Fair
