Been sent a replacement 250gb SATA hard drive from Maxtor after mine failed.

The BIOS shows it as 250GB, but when I come to install XP the partition only shows 130GB. I've deleted/re-created many times, tried different channels and set it as different priorities in BIOS to no avail.

It's installing away now to see if I can fix it in Windows but I very much doubt that. Have I got an incorrectly labelled replacement?
