Although the drive you installed has a rated capacity of 160GB, its capacity when formatted will be less. A certain amount of space on any disk is used by the file system, which is created when the disk is formatted. The structure of the file system varies with different operating systems. File systems may include parameters such as tables of which blocks are in use on the disk, which blocks are bad, and pointers to identify which disk blocks are in use with each file. These parameters reserve a certain amount of space on the disk that becomes unavailable to the system user.
