I presume you've used the "auto" setting in your BIOS, but if the drives
you had previously were indeed only 80GB, there is the possibility that
they've been "set" to that instead of "auto" [worth checking, of course
;) ]

I also recall that some BIOSes had a "custom" setting where you could
hand-code the sides/cylindars/sectors manually to get capacities that it
doesn't detect automatically.
