wrong free space

I recently got a 250 GB usb hdd from lacie. I put things on the hard drive and it
reported the free&used space fine. When I restarted the pc it went through the process
of recognizing it as new hardware even though it was able to recognize it before.
It changed the free&used space to if it was unused and will only report space being
used for newly added files and not the previously added ones. In the past I would
have used scandisk to repair the boot record to fix this but since the hard drive
is >137GB and I am on win98se I don't think I could. I need a disk repair utility
for win98se that can handle hard drives >137GB that lacie didn't provide with the
hard drive.
Lacie thinks this is a symptom of data corruption and wants me to partition+format
the hdd with their program. The previously added data and new data aren't corrupt.
