Hard drive manufacturers define a GB as 1,000,000,000 bytes. I'm not sure why they do this... [/quote:34b35]
They do this cuz its the literal meaning og the prefix Giga =1 billion or 10^9 so its 1 billion bytes instead of taking the time and space, which is money, and doing the actual conversion over
