    Why does the ThinkPad T42 Hitachi 60GB 7200RPM Notebook Hard Drive, Model HTS726060M9AT00 show only a capacity of 51 GB?

    Cause there is a hidden recovery partition. Windows Disk Manager or Fdisk cannot see it. You can turn it off in the bios. Then you should habe between 57-58GBs. 1000MB does not equal 1GB.






    I know things, things that could get me killed


    Thinkpad T42:
    * 1.8Ghz Pentium M * 1.5GB Memory * 60GB Hitachi 7200RPM * 15" SXGA+ Flexview * CDRW/DVD Combo *
