Its your motherboard. Its only going to see 128 with 32 bit architecture. You need to buy a 48 bit ide board to accomodate the new drive.

There is a drive overlay program, the name escapes me but its made by Ontrack, you should never use these, a boot sector virus would kill the drive, from which there is no recovery.
