Has the original poster checked the hard disk model information (this is easily reported with SCSI Probe for example) and confirmed that it is an 80Mb hard disk? It could always have been a 40Mb disk with driver level disk compression installed (eg Disk Doubler) which would lead to some misunderstanding. It would also explain how a disk drive could reduce in size after it had been reformatted.
