I just got a 250 GB SEagate Sata HDD it shows me 238473 MB of diskspace
i Know there is variation between Binary & Decimal.The amount of space variation seems too big. any of you people having 250GB drives Help me out Please. IS the difference OK If not How can a correct it.
Thanks

HDD makers
1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1,000,000 bytes = 1000 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1,000,000,000 bytes = 1,000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte

Every other sector of the computer industry
1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte
1,048,576 bytes = 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte
1,073,741,824 = 1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte

co u may calculate ur self...

and i think its OK... !!!!
