CAPACITY CALCULATION
One Gigabyte (1GB) means 10 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using
powers of 10. A computer operating system, however, reports
storage capacity using powers of 2 for the definition of 1GB=2
= 1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore shows less storage capacity.
Available storage capacity will also be less if the computer includes
one or more pre-installed operating systems, pre-installed software
applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.
2. Connect the USB cable
to the computer.
