Post by: mikesalvo on February 17, 2008, 12:37:55 PM

you know how when you have, o i dont know, say and 80 gig and out of te box you connect it and it reads (i believe) 74 gb. How can I clear uop some of that 6 gigs that i assume is taken up by software etc....

it's not taken, it only has 74 gigs

hard drive vendors are to blame.  an 80 gig drive is not actually 80 gigs in the 1 gigabyte = 1024^3 bytes definition.  hard drive vendors go by 1 gigabyte = 1000 ^ 3 bytes
