The problem is with the ATA hardware in your Mac. Only the last version of the Quicksilver and all subsequent Mirrored Door Drive Macs can see volumes larger then 120GBs on the internal ATA bus. The only "fix" you can do is to purchased a new PCI ATA card. They don't have the limitation and you should then be able to see the rest of the drive.

Unless this is a firewire drive, and in that case, you should be able to see all 200GB.
