That was true in previous version of Windows and/or previous service packs. I had a 320GB SATA hard drive, and i could see 298GB (which is normal).

if somebody's format is FAT32 instead NTFS, then you can only see 200GB...

Pre SP1 or SP2 Windows XP versions only supported about 120Gb.

I think it was something like 2,0000,0000,0000 gbs or something. Its something FAR beyond any hard drive out today can support.
