Drive space in My Computer Question
« on: December 27, 2007, 11:06:20 PM »
I just Rockboxed my Gigabeat F40. When I click the properties in My Computer it is telling me the total capacity of the drive is 37.2GB.

I swear when I had the original firmware, it used to say at least 39GB of total capacity. What gives??

This article does a decent job of explaining why that difference exists:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte
