In decimal notation, one megabyte (MB) is equal to 1,000,000 bytes, and one gigabyte (GB) is
equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes. In the binary numbering system, one megabyte is equal to
1,048,576 bytes, and one gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. Because of the different
measuring systems, you may see a difference between the size reported by Microsoft Windows and
the size advertised. The storage capacity of the hard disk drive is as advertised.
Microsoft Windows reports smaller capacity in the Windows Explorer tool and in the Computer
window because it shows information about one partition on the hard disk drive at a time. One of the
partitions contains the system recovery information.

For computers with a 32-bit operating system, all memory above 3GB may not be available because

resources.
