Partitioning Hard Disk

pc eye, you're on thin ice with those explanations. The harddrive's internal doesn't affect Windows in any way. The firmware present a range of addressable sectors to the outside world. So you don't need to write special tools to see the pluses and minuses.

StrangleHold explained the gap at the end, and why 250 is not 250 in Windows.

It simply goes over your head there. Besides that even you can install and then reinstall XP on the same drive over and over again and not see any gap while seeing it at other times. The unallocated space isn't always seen showing that convenience of easy installation without fuss is why you see that gap only when looking for it. It's simply due to the way the installer partitions the drive at the time.

MS simply created an explaination rather then revealing the fault with the XP drive tool there. And by the way where was the page for that seen? The ease of resizing the partition for simply filling in the small gap without any problems seen with Windows when changing drive letters or anything else shows that as a simple flaw with the installer itself.

lol @ PC eye, i have my A+ book right next to me sitting at the page where it says the 8mb is left to make it easier to upgrade to a dynamic disk, and the book (by mike meyers, im sure you have heard of it) cuts through a lot of other microsoft bull crap, i doubt he is lying too.

Have you abandoned your platter theory? Anyways, as someone mentioned, no matter what is being said, you always come up with new interesting stories. It can be fun, but also annoying. So I will quit right now

Ok, seeing as this has been answered and to try and avoid confusing the original poster anymore I'm going to close this thread.

This post is correct.
