new 300 GB drive shows as 128 GB

I'm trying to set up a new 300 GB IDE drive in Windows 2000 Pro SP4. The model shows correctly in Computer Management - disk properties but the size shows as 128 GB not 300. It's the same size when I go to partition it. This is a new motherboard as well, an MSI 865 PE, and it does recognize the hard drive as the correct model. Any ideas on what I have to do?
