I bought a 180 GB Hitachi/IBM hard drive, and now I am attempting the
partitioning process.
The HD is connected via an external USB2 case, and the OS is Windows XP.

The "Computer Management" reports the HD as 128 GB   and

Partition Magic shows it as 131 GB.

185.2 GB is written on the hard disk...


Why do I get a wrong reading? What's the trick to solve this problem?

PS:
7200 rmp, 8 MB cache, 16,000 Yen in Akihabara.
An additional 3.5 inch USB2/IDE external case was 4,000 Yen.
Entire combinations fro IO-Date, Buffalo offer 160 GB hard drives for 21,000
Yen.
