3 GB?? Are you sure? My old computer, the ancient pieace of shit, had at least 18 GB...

(And besides... it's a 200 (176) GB in addition to the 80 GB I already had, lol)

Chances are that you do have 200 GB. The 23 GB missing is probably in a hidden partition that contains backup files.

Yeah, I discovered that :D

To a drive manufacturer, one kilobyte is 1000 bytes. To a computer, one kilobyte is 1024 kilobits. *does some math* Therefore, your 200GB drive is in all reality a 186GB drive. The other 10 gigs missing are in that other partition.

No, it's not right or fair, to be denied those 14GB because the manufacturer can legally pass off 186GB as 200GB with a funny counting scheme. It's like buying gas, and getting 12 gallons when you bought 15 gallons, 'cause the pump measures gas in a different way than your car. But it's been that way ever since IBM released it's DeathStarDeskStar HDD, and it'll never change.
