What you need to do is right click on the drive and select format change it to "NTFS". When done your drive should show up as 698gb, drives do not show up as the full working amount (IE: 750gb) indicated on the box, they always show up smaller, but not as small as yours.

Please post back if you have any more problems or questions.
