You are probably using an old firmware. Make sure you update your firmware that supports larger HD's

Are you using HD Advance 2.0? That's what you will need to use if you want to access the entire drive.

It's not likely a firmware issue. Are you using HD Loader or HD Advance to access the HDD and if you are using Advance, which version?

HD Loader does not support hard drives larger than 137GB which works out to about 125GB according to HD Loader.

HD Advance 2.0 has large HDD support. I'm not certain but I think it's limit is right about 200GB.

Yes it should but you might have to start all over again and reformat the drive to get the remaining space. HD Advance will do that for you but you will lose any games you already have installed on it.

HD Advance 2.0 supports over 300gb HDs. When I installed it, it recognized 279gb of space. I wish 500gb HDs were cheapier ... I would have tried that ...
