xp does not show the correct hard deive size ( the
computer's bios does ) i have two drives a maxtor 200gb
and a 160gb both only read 131gb why

help
 
Hard drive manufacturers advertise 1mb as 1000bytes. But with windows 1mb is
1024bytes. My western digital is 180gb but is 167gb with windows. But that
seems to be quite alot lost maybe the motherboard don't support it or needs
an update
 
167 GB is about right. It's just a marketing ploy by the hard drive
companies, one which they're being sued over.
