Upon attempting to image the harddrive only shows 137 GB.
My research indicates that this is some LBA 48 issue somewhere - but I don't see how.
If the HDD clearly says 250 Gb on the outside (or the equivalent number of sectors), and then gives you a different number of sectors *before* you have started the image, I'd guess you have a HPA'd or a DCO'd disk.
Check if the writeblocker or imager software detects this issue, or try to verify it by some other means.
If the HDD reports 250 Gb before imaging, but the resulting image is only 137Gb ... I'd probably suspect something USB-related first -- I'd check with Tableau if there are any known issues with the write blocker. LBA should not be an issue with modern drives, particularly not SATA drives. (Though if there are any jumpers on the drive, you might want to check what they do first.)
