Depends, if the sound is getting louder and louder, you better backup all your valuable data. It's going to spoil soon.QUOTE(lovemychemical @ Sep 19 2007, 06:47 AM)

can anyone tell me a bout this basic thing or some where i can find info on that

Hmm... From what I know, it's because the computer reads the 80G differently than human do..if this in the wrong board im so sorry.can I ask basic question about hard disk here like

80G(computer) = 80 x 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 85,899,345,920
80G(human) = 80 x 1000 x 1000 x 1000 = 80,000,000,000
This is due to computer is base 2(binary base) which 0=Off , 1=On. So the nearest to 1k is 2^10 = 1024.
