I'd be intrigued to know how you got an 80GB HD working on a Plus ;)

Might be a power supply issue.  If you disconnect either the floppy or the
hard disk, does the other work fine?

How about the floppies you've been using?  Are they low-density?  If not,
and the SE isn't set up to read HD disks, that's your problem.

Won't do any good unless the SE can read HD floppies.  It'll likely say
FDHD or Superdrive on the front if it can.
