[NMLUG] big disks

I just got a 250G Western Digital EIDE hard drive.
Problem is that fdisk only sees like 137G.

I looked at the insert, and they provide a little Windows program
to prepare the disk for 250G formatting.

What can I do from Debian?
How can I tell if my bios can even handle such a disk?
