iirc the formatting takes up the remaining space - things like file
allocation tables and stuff. It only becomes noticeable really with large
drives otherwise the loss is small

Subject: [ukha_d] 180gb Drive Format ?


I have bought a 180gb drive but when I format it I only get 171705MB.
What am I doing wrong. I have formatted it using Partition Magic 8 and
used ntfs.
