Yeah, but all HDs and memory come with less space than advertised because they have software or drivers or something, but paratitioning it shouldnt lower it substantially.

so what happens is your drive is actually as big as they tell you. But essentially a Table of Contents is created on your disk. So depending how big the disk is it takes more space for this TOC.

From my experience i dont THINK that multiple partitions take any additional space away. Sometimes there is a meg left over because i chose weird partition sizes... but thats it.

I have my drive partitioned, and I have no loss in space. I used Partition Magic.

your partitions will add up to your total space you can use. (total hd - TOC stuff)
