Thanks. What exactly is the formula for determining what the size of a drive would be when Windows is reading it?
Click to expand...

Multiply by 1 decimal GB (1 000 000 000) over 1 binary GB ( 1073741824 )

~ 0.931322574615478515625

160 x 0.931322574615478515625 = 149

- M4H
 
Your friend's drive is messed up or not partitioned correctly... his formula is right.

If you feel like doing it the long way:

take the # of gigs.

x 1000 x 1000 x 1000

then

/ 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = answer
