Ok, I had a 20 gig HD that had 4.7 gigs free available.

I bought an elite and transfered the 20 gig HD info to the new 120 gig. I then deleted all the promotional stuff that comes with the HD and verified(on memory blade) that i'm using the same amount of memory for my stuff as I was for the 20 gig.

The issue I have is, it now says that I have 97.5 gigs available. That doesn't add up right, what's taking up the 5-7 extra gigs that I can't see?

I'm using the exact same amount of memory with the 20 gig. So, I should have 114 gigs or so available. I feel alittle short changed.

I think they need to take space opn the HDD for files needed to run the system. So thats where this so called missing space goes.

Yep they are right. The HDD keeps a certain amount of space open for system resources. Nothing to worry about.

They're right. It's all based on percentage, not just size. Kind of sucks when you lose more GB though.
