Your computer is most likely not recognizing the drive geometry of your friend's drive. Older systems will often not see the full capacity of a drive that is over a certain size without a drive overlay being installed. You probably don't want to install the overlay since his computer apparently doesn't have the same problem. If all you need to do is copy some data from his drive to yours, you could just put your hard drive in his computer instead.
I hope this helps,
Steve
