As for the formated size of a hard disk: I just bought a "540" meg hd (maxtor). It reads as 504 megs in my bios set up. It dirs (when empty) at 527 megs. However because of slack space (space after files that the is not used without some sort of disk compression software), I will never have 527 meg of data on it and probably won't get the 504. Just my random thoughts on what you really are getting when you buy a hard drive. PDeMaio Is that a light at the end of the tunnel or just an oncoming train?
