    I have a 160 GB HD, but it's being displayed as 149GB

    I'm not complaining or anything, I just plan to format soon and I was wondering if I have to do something for all 160GBs to work. I hope I wasen't j00ped out of 11gbs...

    Its a manufacturer conversion error, plus the small amount of unuseable sectors on every hard drive.

    Manufacturer--1gb=1,000mb
    True conversion---1gb=1,024mb
