Hi,

I recently purchased IOMEGAExternal USB HDD 250 gb online from
CompUSA.
As per the specification on product box it says that the capacity of
this HDD is 250 GB.

However after connecting this external usb hdd to my WindowsXp
professional laptop, I found that its capacity is only 232GB. What
happened to the rest of 18 GB?

As I understand 18GB is a lot of memory. Is there something wrong with
the product? Can someone explain me why it is not showing 250 GB disk
space as it was advertised on the product box?

Thanks,
Anand
