x_6985381 Posted June 11, 2006 CID Share Posted June 11, 2006 My c:drive is listed on the cover as 250 gigs, yet i only have 232 max, i use to have 250 but then something went wrong after i reinstalled windows. And i think its a partition of 7+ gigs. but i can not delete to retrieve my 250 gigs back. has anyone had this problem before?. 250 gigs stock 232 what im left with 210 gigs free at the moment. the connector is not on the harddrive so that take that away. let me no of how to get into that spare memory.

dlewis23 Posted June 11, 2006 CID Share Posted June 11, 2006 thats not a problem that happens when you format the drive. 232 sounds about right for a NTFS Format on a 250GB drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted June 11, 2006 CID Share Posted June 11, 2006 It also could be because you have a recovery partition. Recovery partition are usually found on pre made pcs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted June 11, 2006 CID Share Posted June 11, 2006 Advertised free space is done in 1000 base, in other words your harddisk has 250.000.000.000 bytes. But for Windows/Linux/Any other OS that's not 250 GB, it less because they use a base of 1024. While it may seem cheap, both bases may be used, and any solid storage manufacturer uses 1000 because it's cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
