oversized harddrive holocaust

Hi guys. I'm having trouble trying to get my 250gb maxtor to show up as a actualy 250gb hdd or up. I'm on windows 2000 pro and already on sp4. Here's the list of things i did so far and a pic of the partitions i have right now in partition magic if that helps. Thanks.

1) Installed Windows 2000 on a 15gb partition taken from the 250gb total.

2) installed sp4 for windows 2000.

3) installed partiton magic pro 7 and saw only the following picture. It shows the additional other 120 or gigs in the blue area and not pink. Partiton magic only let me make a 113gb partition.

Please help me out here guys! I bought a 250gigger for no reason if i can't use the other 100gb! Thanks for any help.
