Make sure you have the second drive as slave in the jumper, and also check your bios as you start up and make it autodetect. If you want to partition it, well, I would either try the f-disc but it can be a bugger frankly, or try partition magic, or just skip it. I have a 60 GB drive at home, and no problem, takes alittle longer to do the defrags only..

If you get it to start and to boot from the right, (shouldn´t be any problems) just open thid computer, right click the 80 GB one and choose format drive)
Voila.
