Doesnt that mean that you lost 4 GB on your first 80 GB drive
and also lost 8 GB on your second drive?

yeah, it does...hard drive manufacturers count one kilobyte as 1000 bytes, people who 'know' computers count one kilobyte as 1024 bytes
this causes you to 'lose' space...also you 'lose' some when you format

I'm on 576/288 ADSL and here are the specifications for my single HDD:

[RedRival]

70.9 + 44.9 = 115.8 gigs

I just reformatted my 80gig drive and 9.1 gigs ate up on the first 2 days, inclusive of all the OS's and whatnot.

not much I can download on my shitty 256k adsl connection.

i meant formatting as in making a completely clean drive usable, rather than wiping a drive which has already been used...

You just loose space for the FAT (file allocation table), and thats just when you format your HD for the first time.

[RedRival]

no worries I get what you say.

meaning a factory new hdd has to be formatted once to be usable.

after that, once it&#39;s used, formatting does not affect disc space.
