Hay Saifi, I m not expert but whatever i have heard that The HDD is measured not in GigaBytes but in Gigabits. Thats why when u calulate all the 80 GB in ur hard disk u get it 74 GB i.e 80 Gigabits = 74 Gigabytes..
Well i am not sure about this.. if this is wrong then whenever u get right answer plz tell me that too..
