Understanding Hard Disk Drive 
Space
The hard disk drive on the Hewlett-Packard and 
Compaq computers with the Windows Vista operating 
system preinstalled may appear to be smaller than 
what is stated in the product specifications, in the 
documentation, or on the box. Hard disk drives are 
described and advertised by manufacturers in terms of 
decimal (base 10) capacity. Windows Vista and other 
programs, such as FDISK, use the binary (base 2) 
numbering system.
In decimal notation, one megabyte (MB) is equal to 
1,000,000 bytes, and one gigabyte (GB) is equal to 
1,000,000,000 bytes. In the binary numbering 
system, one megabyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes, 
and one gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. 
Because of the different measuring systems, you may 
see a difference between the size reported by 
Windows Vista and the size advertised. The storage 
capacity of the hard disk drive is as advertised.
Windows Vista reports smaller capacity in the 
Windows Explorer tool and in the Computer window, 
because it shows information about one partition on 
the hard disk drive at a time. One of the partitions 
contains the system recovery information.
