| | Clean Install on New Hard Drive Due to a mobo & cpu meltdown, had to get new puter that included a 160GB Sata HD. When installed Vista Ultimate, HD showed only 149GB. What happened to the other the 11GB? First time had HD this large so unsure if this is normal. |

The formatted size is always smaller than the size advertized. I have never understood why this practice is still done, as an unformatted drive can only be used as a doorstop in a doll's house.. -- Mike Hall - MVP How to construct a good post.. http://dts-l.com/goodpost.htm How to use the Microsoft Product Support Newsgroups.. http://support.microsoft.com/default...help&style=toc Mike's Window - My Blog.. http://msmvps.com/blogs/mikehall/default.aspx |
