I don't know if this is relevant, but some IDE controllers only recognize the first 128 GB(binary) = 137*10^9 bytes.
Is it possible that your controller has two modes? Windows uses one mode that recognizes the whole disk, and Linux uses the other (compatibility?) mode that only recognizes the first 137 GB(decimal)...? I haven't tried a big disk on an x86 box, but on my Beige G3 PowerMacs, I have to use a SIIG UltraIDE PCI controller to see the tail-ends of my larger disks. The on-board IDE controller that Apple built into those boxes refuses to see beyond 137 GB(decimal). For what it's worth, the SIIG controller works fine with Linux -- as well as with MacOS. Enjoy!
