I have this tools too, but i considered this the last option to use if i cant solve the problem

could it be that once you have SP1 installed, then the drive would show up correctly?

hint, if that's the problem, then slipstream SP1 onto your disk using the http://unattended.msfn.org/ guide and it will report correctly immediately

It's likely that the file directory is corrupt, having been given the run-around by windows about the size of the disk. Using the tools I linked to may be the only option.
