Why should I use 80 wire cables for a upto UDMA 33 motherboard? They
supplied 40 wire cables with the mainboard.

The previous versions set PIO mode although "DMA if available" was
selected.
Those will be the standard drivers, and if they go into PIO like that it
indicates that for some reason there has been a error rate that was
found unacceptable, so it has fallen back, and stuck. In the
circumstance this may be spurious. Check cabling and so on; especially
that you are using 80 wire cables for devices at UDMA 33 or faster, then
highlight the top level controller in Dev Manager (just above 'Primary')
and Action - Uninstall. OK and reboot for PnP to start afresh
