when I built my PC I used a 500GB harddrive, although it only says it is 127GB, I have tried re-formatting it and searching for the rest of it but to no luck. So I thought i'd take a short cut and just buy a new hard drive so that's what I did, I bought a 1TB hard drive earlier today, but now it is only showing a maximum size of 337GB. I am not too bothered about trying to recover what is on my local disk I just want the full 1TB on drive D.

I think you use the win8, so press the key combination [Win-Logo]+[X], then just click on the "Disk Management" to open the "Disk Management". Now;
1) if you see the drive (C or D drive) listed there and also see the "Unallocated" partition, then you right-click and choose extend volume. after that you will get back the lost space.
2) If you still don't see that, close the "Disk Management" Try the "EaseUS Partition Master Home" http://www.partition-tool.com/download.htm
