Disk manufactures always use 1000 as the multiplier instead of 1024.
Windows reports the space in normal MB i.e. with the 1024 multiplier so you
always get 97.6% of what you think you should have ((1000*1000) /
(1024*1024)*100 so 180Gb (Disk Specs)*97.6% = 171Gb

or,
KB = 1024 bytes
* 1024
MB = 1048576 bytes
* 1024
GB = 1073741824 bytes
* 180
= 193273528320 bytes on a 180gig disk
/ 1024 = 188743680 MB on a 180gig disk
