If your OS is XP, then that's it, 2.2gb limit. There is nothing you can do and even if so, it would be another cost and hassle. Only the newer mtrbds. and Vista and later OS(64-bit) will work as clean as possible. Visit the Seagate support website and review it's FAQ.

There is no cure at the moment if you use MBR. Here it offered a choice of MBR or GPT. Maybe you should try the other?
