That's what I meant.  Windows is using a different method than the people who printed the box.  The box says 300... Windows says 278.  I'm not going to get into an OS conversation with someone who calls me to ask that question.   :)

When I formatted my 500 Gig drive and saw that it only gave me 465 Gig to work with, I slammed my fist down and spilled hot coffee on my lap.  Am I entitled to an extra settlement?

ChadTower:

No, but you can file a hot coffee request with Rockstar.
