8.2 Hard disk instruction
Dear user, you may find there are some differences of hard drive capacity between the
process of using the computer's and operating system ,for example: the computer's 80GB
hard disk is displayed in the operating system was less than 80GB, the reason neither
installed incorrectly nor other problem , this is normal situation in the computer field. This
phenomenon is mainly due to the following reasons: the different calculated capacity
standards between hard drive manufacturers and computer operating system. Hard disk
manufacturers used in hard disk capacity is 1000 binary, that is: 1G = 1,000 MB, 1MB =
1,000 KB, 1KB = 1,000 byte; However, the operating system used in identifying is 1024
binary, that is: 1GB = 1,024 MB, 1MB = 1,024 KB, 1KB = 1,024 byte. because they are
different calculated standards, leading to their difference in the operating system .For
example, the nominal drive is XG, even in any unused , the capacity of the operating
system only: X × 1000 × 1000 × 1
000 / (1024 × 1024 × 1024) ≈ X × 0.931 G, If used , the
space will be less than X × 0.931 G.
In addition, the hard disk is partitioned and formatted, to save system files ,the system will
take up some space on your hard drive.
For these reasons, you can understand available hard disk space in the operating system
should less than the computer.
