Windows Xp Pro....

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 wud use partition magic as rossco said&nbsp; &nbsp;

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]

lol someone shud teach em math

lol, if they can make a hard drive, chances are they are pretty good at math.
It&#39;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

The Norton 2002 products aren&#39;t comapatible with WinXP so go for 2003. I&#39;ve used them (NPF, NAV, NIS, NSW) and they&#39;re fine.

nahh that&#39;s normal. Hard drive manufacturers don&#39;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

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.
