[QUOTE="Mama Luigi, post: 809230, member: 83273"] Wow, that could be bad. You could have a hard drive with tons of bad sectors. If they had mistakenly given you a 160 GB drive, it wouldn't have showed a capacity of 232.89 GB, and it wouldn't even show as 141.21 GB either. 141.21 GB converted into how the drive makers market their drives works out to a bit over 151 GB. A 160 GB hard drive would have 149 GB of usable space. I'd suggest backing up all your data and bringing this in to an Apple store. Most likely they'll have to replace your hard drive. [/QUOTE]
