Hello Moosc,

As far as the HD showing 93 gigs, gigabytes by hard drive manufacturers are defined in round 10s. So Seagate would show 100 gigs as 100,000,000,000 bytes. But to get the actual reported size (which is done all in powers of 2), you divide that by the actual amount a gigabyte is, 1,073,741,824, which equals 93.1325746........

One kilobyte = 1,024 bytes = 2^10
One megabyte = 1,048,576 bytes = 2^20
One gigabyte = 1,073,741,824 bytes = 2^30
One terabyte = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes = 2^40
One petabyte = 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes = 2^50

Hard drive manufacturers make it easier for the layman to understand by defining gigabytes as an easy to understand, round, 100,000,000,000 bytes, which is really what 93.1325746... gigabytes is.

I'm wondering if I made it more clear...

Now as far as the memory usage, that is not normal, and you may want to check your running processes and check your OS for malicious software. If you suspect you may have malicious software, follow my prework link, and post a thread with the results in the Hijackthis! Logs section of the forum.

Hope any of that helps!
