Incorrect HD Size under WIN7

Hi Again Folks
Before we start its's not the standard whinge about binary vs commercial labelling!!
I just built a new computer running Win7Pro64bit and installed my old Maxtor 8.5gb HD as a spare/backup drive. System has 2 WD 500GB SATA drives as well but the Maxtor is a PATA drive with std IDE connection. On boot bios sees the Maxtor correctly but in windows the drive shows up as 1.96GB ?
I have reformatted and run F Disk to no avail - any suggestions ???
Thanks
