I just bought a 750 gig ide hd and the computer does not reconize it as 750 gigs but my external hd case does. What should I do? Brand new.

Only those PowerMac G4 (QuickSilver 2002) or later models offer 48-bit LBA.

Well, you should have a look at the Storage FAQ thread. Chances are you need to buy an additional controller card to be able to use the full capacity of the drive.
