Question for you guys that have 200GB drives

[Desslok]

If you are running Xp Pro what is the OS reporting your drive size to be?

Thanks

im guessing they are going to say somewhere around 180gb

im on a 80gb and 120 gb combined i have a total of 184.5gb of space

I'm running a 200 GB Western Digital, reported as 186 GB under Windows 2000. Hope that helps.

Yup. Remember folks, binary megabytes and shown megabytes differ.

To them, 200GB is 200 000 000 000 bytes.
Divide by 1024 ~= 195 312 500 kilobytes
Divide by 1024 ~= 190 735 megabytes
Divide by 1024 ~= 186 gigabytes

less filesystem overhead of course

It's reporting 200gb, or whatever that is in actual megabytes. You have to install the latest BIOS if it doesn't recognize the full size.
