New HDD only showing 127gb?! Quick Help!

Just rebuilt my pc and purchased a seagate barracuada 250gb HDD with Gigabyte 965P-DS3.

The HDD is only coming up as total size of 127Gb when it should be double that?

Any idea why?

Yeh its only an original without any service packs. So do I have to get a sp2 installation version and then reinstall?

Ok i did the diskpart..... Should the process only take a split second?
