[QUOTE="Collin Bl, post: 912892, member: 95994"] Then there is this i found from a google - First, as people have pointed out, harddrive manufacturers count GB, in decimal mode, as 1,000,000,000 bytes, while Windows counts a GB, in binary mode, as 1,073,741,824 bytes. Due to this difference in labeling a 160GB drive is actually 149 GiB. No reason why you shouldn't blame M$ for the difference ;-) [/QUOTE]
