running xp pro, sp2.

have a usb 2 iomega external hd that contains a western digital 200gb
drive.. the drive only shows up as 127gb. I first thought it was a bios
int13 extension problem but cant be because i also have an internal 500gb
drive that shows up properly. lba48 is aslo enabled in the windows registry.
anyone have ideas?
 
Connect drive and then check in DiskManagement how it is partitioned..

Start->Run diskmgmt.msc
