1gb = 1024mb?

So I'm trying to make an even 100gb partition on a hard drive I have, and I'm wondering what I should put in as the value in MB to reach 100gb ... 102400MB?
 
yes

multiply GB desired by 1024 for MB
multiply GB desired by 1024 twice for KB
multiply GB desired by 1024 three times for bytes
 
i dont think windows will even show it as 100gb. it has some weird thing of making the drive 15/16ths of its size or something. read it somewhere and dont know why. but thats why my 160gb hard drive is only 150gb. i think most of us know that though.

but to answer ur question...
if windows shows that ur hard drive is 93.75% of its true size in megabytes when it asks you to create a partition, then i think it would be 102400mb =100gb.
 
Sorry Wrong Answer. The reason why a 160GB disk on Windows appears to be only 150GB is because all drive manufactories uses Decimal system, and not the binary system that computer are used so a drive that is 160GB

160GB Decimal = 160,000,000,000
160GB Binary = 171,798,691,840

Or 160GB Decimal = 149 GB Binary

Yeah what he said. Although windows counts by binary so 100 gb will be 102400 MB
