"....at IBM and some other companies have decided to deceptively re-interpret "mb" to mean "million-byte" rather than "mega-byte", and introduce all...." ~~~~~ it gets worse. any drive manufacturer will sell you a 540,000,000 byte drive as a 540 megabytes. dos chkdsk will show you roughly 540,000,000 bytes. fdisk will show you roughly 527,000 KB. your cmos will show you roughly 514MB. all accurate calculations considering they'll always show 1000s & always hide 1024s. i agree that it's deliberately deceptive. older, smaller drives often have more honest labels.
