Forums - Microsoft - WTF I Just Lost 10 Gigs On My New 120 HD?

Doesn't the hard drive also contain some software for running original Xbox games, which would take up some space?

Double check for lost saves to.
I lost PGR4, Wartech and a few other saves while doing the transfer sadly.



It's just that simple.

The bigger the drive gets the bigger the gap between GB and GiB becomes. You see, the drive capacities are listed as 1 KB = 1000 Bytes, 1 MB = 1000 KB etc. The OS (whether computer or console) uses 1 KB = 1024 Bytes. 1 MB = 1024 KB etc. So the bigger the drive gets, the bigger the difference between the OS scale and the drive makers scale. It has been propsed to rename the 1024 units to KiB, MiB etc but only Linux has actually done this, and drive makers certainly don't want to use it since they use the difference to make drives seem bigger than they really are.

When did 1KB become 1000 Bytes.  Did I miss a memo or something, but in electronics never has 1KB been equal to 1000B.

dont worry, they are computer illiterate so its understandable they dont have a clue what they are talking about.

I know it's pretty confusing to me like 720p HDTV has 768 vertical lines and 1080p has 1080 lines.

I always trying to figure out how all of my HDD drive space get used up on my PC. If I totally clean My PC HDD then reinstall everything back on my PC I find I have tons of extra space I didn't have before (HDD was fully loaded before).

ROFL!

OT:
adajio is right, MS reserves space on the HDD to allow for backwards compatiblility(3* 750mb partitions), and various other bits and bobs such as title updates and the like.
