I did have a 2nd HDD of 20Gb and it did not work any more, so now I have a put in a 80GB as 2nd HDD, now when I run fdkisk it only show 32GB, how can I get it so see 80GB. I only use this drive as backup and don't have windows on it.

There are jumpers on the back of some drives that limit them to that. Pull the hard drive out, look at the jumper configuration and find the one that marks "limit drive to 32GB" , pull it off and install the drive. You will now find the drive shows its actaul size.
