Check there's no size limiting jumper on the drive (some have a "limit
to 30GB" jumper on them).
Also, does your BIOS see it as a 180GB drive? And does Linux when it
boots up? Look for the drive id string being printed. My PC has a 60GB
drive in it and the BIOS can't cope, so I have to disable it and let
Linux find it on its own (this doesn't work if you want to boot off it
though!).
Then, does fdisk let you make a partition > 30GB?
