Most likely you have set up one of the jumpers in the back of the 80 giger to limited capacity. HD have this option to limit their capacty to 30GB in order to make them work with older bioses/hdd controllers.


So look on the sticker on top of the hd and folow its intructions to change that jumper back.


Also make sure that the slave is in the middle of the ribbon cable and that the master is at the end.
