Heh thats nothing ive had my new 320GB SATA2 HDD since christmas and ive only got 90GB left!

Havn't said that my PC for some reason only detects 300GB of my HDD so there is 20GB not being used...

It's most likely because 1 KB = 1024 B, 1 MB = 1024 KB, and so forth. A lot of bytes are "lost" when doing those conversions, and the huger the disks, the larger amounts of space seem to disappear. In reality though, they don't disappear. If you check the properties of a 700 MB file, you'll find that it is actually 715000 KB or something like that.

Some space is lost to journalling and other aspects of whatever filesystem you're using as well. That is space that would otherwise be usable, so if you really want it back I guess you could use ext2 or something similar.

All I know about my computer is that it's powered by love.

My PC is a two year old Gateway. It has 200 GB harddrive and a decent MBs worth of RAM. My laptop is also a Gateway, has similar specs, but it's widescreen so it's good for DVD viewage. My laptop is pretty. It likes to break a lot, but I just got it back today from repairs after a month, so I'm happy with it right now.

The NTFS file system doesn't take all that much space :p.
