I also remember putting a 4G HD into my old storebought Pentium PC, and had same problem with the 2G limitation, but it did recognize the new 4G HD, but only let me use 2G of it. I think you probably just need to go into the BIOS and autodetect this new one then you'll see if it has the 2G limitation...
My only other thought is that the 4G drive you are trying to install is probably not new,, Correct??? So it may actually be a bad drive...
