This situation occured on a different computer and it only recognised a small amount of the capacity but I just accepted it and did not enquire further as to why that was., This time I don't want to lose drive space.

Unless the drive has jumpers that allow you to restrict it's physical capacity - check on its label.
Or it's a very old motherboard

A modern OS would use 48 bit addressing - which is ample for any conceivable disk.
I don't understand why 32 bit addressing was ever used though.
