It sounds like your drive has the "Capacity Limitation Jumper" set. 
All the > 2GB Maxtors I've seen have a jumper which reduces the
reported capacity to 4092 cylinders so old BIOSes can detect them.

Look up your drive at http://www.maxtor.com/, download the jumper
settings, and make sure that that jumper is not set on your drive.
