so the bigger the HDD the bigger space you loose.
Idiots <_<
Thanks guys for that. It helped.
BTW: I am looking for Norton Personal Firewall 2002 version but can't find it? The reason I am looking for these versions is because it's the best one I liked and worked perfect for me. Can you help me out?
I did ;) I put the space into one HDD and it worked. However, it says I have 187GB and not 200GB? Did I do something wrong? [/b][/quote]Quote:

i wud use partition magic as rossco said ;) :01:
try using smaller cluster size. mine is set to 512 bytes
lol, if they can make a hard drive, chances are they are pretty good at math. :lol:Quote:

lol someone shud teach em math :angry:
It's non-cheapness they gotta be tought. ;)
The size difference is usually because the manufacturers count a single gigabyte as 1000Mb, rather then the actual 1024Mb that it really is. This makes each hard drive slightly smaller then it should be.
Geez I thought you people knew these things :rolleyes:
That's pretty much exactly what i said...mine was actually more detailed. :blink:Quote:

My mistake, I sure hope the death penalty has been disallowed...
The Norton 2002 products aren't comapatible with WinXP so go for 2003. I've used them (NPF, NAV, NIS, NSW) and they're fine.Quote:

Yes; this unfortunate mishappening is emphasized to a greater extent with RAID arrays. For instance, two 200GB HDDs being configured in a striped RAID-0 array, via NTFS formatting, consequences in an acceptable loss of 40GB, rendering you with 360GB of space.Quote:

nahh that's normal. Hard drive manufacturers don't meausre size right. They say that 1gb is 1000mb but in fact it is 1024mb, and that 1000kb is a mb, but it is 1024, and so on. This adds up to be quite a bit of lost space :( then tehre is also the space u loose (not much though) from the file system.
My 40gb shown as 37gb :(
