di po yan naka-depende sa specs ng computer, may space po talagang reserved na ginagamit ng operating system even before mo ito install-an ng software. kasama na dito ang MBR or Master Boot Record, file system tulad ng FAT, FAT32 or NTFS, etc. etc. etc. at iba pang chuvaness. ehehehe.
tsaka yun din nga palang sinabi ni fafa nsprime, ang ginagamit kasi ng hard disk manufacturers na measurement ng capacity is in decimals hindi yung binary eklat equivalent na ginagamit ng original computer designers and software developers. try mo ito: open mo windows explorer tapos right-click ka sa hard disk mo tapos click mo properties tapos tingnan mo yung sa capacity sa bandang ibaba. eto result sa isang 40GB na hard disk ko:
Capacity: 40,978,309,120 bytes 38.1GB
in decimals it's almost 41GB pero pag ginamit yung binary chuvaness version it becomes 38.1GB lang kasi nga sa computer binary eklat notation:
1 Kilobyte = 1024 Bytes
1 MegaByte = 1024 KiloBytes
1 GigaByte = 1024 MegaBytes
kaya naging
1 GigaByte = 1,073,741,824
at
40,978,309,120 Bytes
= 38.16 GigaBytes
1,073,741,824
o diba anjoray? ehehehe.
hope this helps mga titah.
