I can't remember if the size Windows reports is that left after a format, or the theoretical for the disk.
the way disk size is reported is confusing, anyway
- my '40 GB' disk is 41,998,853,824 bytes - which works out at 38.28 GB
- my '160 GB' disk is 160,000,147,456 bytes - which works out at 149.01 GB
- the bigger they are, the harder they fall
