Was patitioning 160gb maxtor disk through maxtor utility. NTFS
formating was getting allowed only when dial reached 34gb mark.

Then same size disk was partitioned with size of primary set at 20gb
while installing OS.

But in the second instance lost something like 10gb disk space.


So wonder if for NTFS format of primary partition a certain percetage
of total size must be alloted in order not to lose any space on the
disk.
