Do you have HDD jumpers configured correctly?

Bios should support HDD bigger than 128GB - is your drive recognized as 32GB only or not detected at all ?

Rainbow - My hdd jumpers are ok. Now i have few files saved on the new h/d, should i try to format again. Does that matter?

Denniss - My hardrive is recognized as 32gb only, but do i have the correct bios though?

Your HDD should have a capacity limitation jumper set - remove it and you'll see all your 80GB
-> Jumper location should be printed on the HDD surface(label) or visit the manufacturer's homepage

Thanks, Guys.

It was the jumpers after all. I have the full 80gb now.
