Its a 320GB detected as 298GB

I know windows usually doesn't show the full 320GB but I see no reason for 20GB to be missing?

552118 2007-05-24 06:13:00 You mean 320GB

320GB is the decimal figure, which works out to be 1000 bytes per KB, 1000KB per MB and so on

The TRUE value is binary and is 1024 bytes per KB, 1024KB per MB, 1024MB per GB thus showing 298GB instead of 320GB
