    i have 2 80gb hard drives and they both say 76gb or some thing like that.
    i dont realy care where the other 4gb (7gb) are lol
    172GB will do me fine since i got over 80 GB free after formating the main hard drive.

    I could bloody have that
    On a given day or given circumstance, you think you have a limit.
    And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit and you think "Ok, this is the limit".
    As soon as you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further.
    With your mind power, your determination, your instinct and the experience as well, you can fly very high.

    This appears just to be a marketing blunder down to faulty manufacturing details sounds like somthing that could only randomly work. Whithout reformating about 1.5 times more capacity could be achived through compressing your entire HD, thats with better comp methods.

    I don't believe it, but it'd be pretty tight if it were true
    I don't see why the manufacturer wouldnt just unlock all the space and sell the drive for more, rather then have the same amount of space, yet waste most of it, doesn't make sense to me

    why bumb a month and a half old thread with an almost meaningless post?

    the reason threads fall back a few pages is because nobody wants to hear about them anymore
