Do you have any other local disks showing up in My Computer, like D, E, F, etc? If so your drive is partitioned into these "separate" hard drives. This basically is like (in a virtual sense) having physically separate hard drives installed.
If this is not the case then your drive could have been partitioned just to 80GB with the rest left as free space. To check, right click on My Computer and go to "manage." From here go to Storage then click on Disk Management. This should give you a representation of that disk. All should be either partitioned into pieces or as one large partition. If you see anything else it is not partitioned or in a different format. You will need a program like Partition Magic or something to fix this real time.
Oh and I'm assuming you have at least Win2K or WinXP...

Is it showing 80 GB available or 80 GB size. If the latter then you may not have a 200 GB hard drive.

1. search for it in my computer it may show up as another local disk 2. are you booting up with the 80 gig hard drive or the 200 3. is it properly plugged in and configured. 4. check the bios.

If you have WIn 9.x or Win Me it will only show 80 gig. You have to partition the drive into sections with Fdisk
