13gig HD showing only 6gig. How?

[ShiftKart]

I bought a Maxtor 13gig 7200 rpm drive from one of our members here and isntalled the drive for use as a slave.
After right clicking on the d: and selecting format (full-not erase) it formated it out. But it shows that the HD is completely empty and showing 5.99gig's of space.

On the outside of the HD cover it says 13gig but the back of the cover is off.

Is this HD partioned or something? Even if it was, wouldnt it show the full 13 gig's of space in properties?

Baffled on this...

Try Fdisk to see what space is available on the drive. You might need to delete the existing partition on the new drive and than recreate it. Or use a prog like Partition Magic.
