Fdisk/partition magic and hdd programs for different brands. I us(ed(ing) it a lot and helped me out of different issues before. And some hundreds more to play with. Probably one of these programs will solve your issue and at the same time you learn from it.

What is the exact model of the HDD?
Which OS are you using?
Can you list some of your other specs, like Motherboard and CPU?
When you see the drive in Disk Management, what does the capacity say on the left? (Please screenshot if possible)

So how was this "too basic"? What happened? Did you get an error? Or did it just say the 150 capacity when you tried to format it / create a partition.

And I'd add to the list: Where did you buy the drive from? A reputable reseller?

Please take a screenshot of how the HDD looks in Disk Management:
Control Panel -> System and Security -> Under "Administrative Tools", choose Create and format hard disk partitions.
Or optionally type "Create and format" in Windows start menu's search and it should find it. (If your Windows is in another language then english, you have to type what it could be in your language)

When you get there, you should see all of your drives. Here you can screenshot what it says on the left, it should show the real capacity of the drive.
