Vista and Noseeum Seagate 300GB Drive

Why can't I get a brand new - after the Vista Biz. upgrade - Seagate 300GB
Barracuda to be seen?

At one point Vista saw the limit(ed) 127GB but after a while it blew up on
me (yes I had a backup of the data thanks!)

So, never having used the Seagate Disk manager for about 20 years I've put
that disk in so many times and tried to have Vista see the 300GB drive - to
no avail. Now I can't even get Vista to initialize the drive at all.

I've partitioned under Seagate drive tools, I've put a signature ob the disk
I've tried Windows c:>diskpart but Vista doesn't want to recognize the 300GB

My BIOS sees it as a 300GB OK. enabling or disabling "plug and play O/S' in
the BIOS makes no difference.

Can anyone help please? Has anyone else tried installing a large drive after
their Vista install? was it a success?

Thanks.
