This is a BIOS problem, and it affects all operating systems.  If your
computer is really new, then the BIOS should not be doing this to you.  Make
sure that your BIOS is at the latest revision, and that it recognizes your
hard drive correctly (check your BIOS settings).

Also, if you just bought the computer, and you cannot get it to address the
correct amount of space, call the person who sold you the computer.  Any
computer made after about 1996-7 with an updated BIOS should not have this
problem...
