Yeah it's a regular question. Disk drive manufacturers define Gigabytes as 1,000,000,000
bytes, while computer people working with true binary etc will tell you that a Gigabyte
is 1,073,741,824 bytes. With your disk being 120 Gigabytes as defined by the manufacturer
i.e. 120,000,000,000 bytes the computer will define this as 120 x (1000000000/1073741824)
= 111.76 Gigabytes. Hope this clears it up for you. Cheers. Spexx.
