Crazy Hard Drive

Have installed 80GB Maxtor HDD. Tried to format with the following results.
Cannot format via My Computer. Tried Partition Magic v8 - it appeared to format but when checking again was advised that it was not NTFS. Checking Properties via My Computer it shows 31.4GB. It I check via Computer Management it shows 76.4GB NTFS and healthy in bottom half of screen yet in the top section shows only 31.5GB with 31.43 GB free. OS XP Pro

How can I format the entire HDD to get all of the capacity back please?

Thanks
