Dear all,

I wanted to make a dual boot of Windows and Linux, but things got messed up. So I deleted the Linux partitions I had made in Linux fdisk. For some reason, this showed my whole drive to be unallocated and prevented me to boot into the Windows partition. I then decided to reinstall Windows.

I suppose I have no chance of recovering the lost Windows partition (I would like to, of course), because it seems the Windows installation reformatted the disk.

But my disk is a 320 GB drive (it's a Hitachi HTS545032B9A300) and Windows (and EASEUS Partition Master) only see a 297.99 GB C:\ partition and a 100 MB system partition. Does anyone have an idea about what happened to the remaining 30 GB?

Greetings,
Marty

320GB = 298GiB

Why is my hard drive smaller than the advertised capacity?
