74,340,044,800 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 69.2gb. A "74gb" labeled HD is 69.2gb in Windows.
What does your HD show in "Bytes" when right clicking it under "My Computer" and looking at "Properties" and "Capacity"? You'll see a large number in BYTES, then to the right of that it will be in GB. Take that number / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = the amount that should be showing at the left pane when you highlight the HD in My Computer (and in the capacity area I mentioned above to the right of the large number in bytes). -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In a message dated 8/20/2004 12:12:08 PM Eastern Daylight Time, @orpheuscomputing.com writes: > What size your HD?
