[SOLVED] How to create exact 10 GB, 50 GB, 100 GB or 1.00 TB partition?

[shabirahmadmbl]

Anyone have idea how to make partition with exact value.
i.e
When i am creating 100 GB driver i multiple 1024×100 = 102400 but when i see its not actually 100 GB its size decreased and showing 98GB etc in properties. Pls help me out to create partition with exact amount.

30 years working with computers (starting with MS-DOS) and I never did this thing right.

It's a difference in units, we talk in Gb while the computer only understands Gib

GB Vs GiB: What’s The Difference? - MASV

GB is the metric style of measurement with 1 GB = 1,000³ bytes. GiB is the binary method; 1GiB = 1024³ bytes. Read their impact on how we transfer files!

You can use a calculator to figure out the right size

For , what you consider 1Gb (really 1Gib) the number to enter into your partition program is this.
1 GiB = 1.073741824 GB

How we will write this number in MB

1024 MB is in every GB. So 100GB is 102400MB.

However you'll never get anything exact in Windows if you pull up the partition information and see how much capacity it has. 102,400 MB will show up as 107,374,182,400 bytes. And you can't ask to resize partitions down to the byte level.

Sir Suppose i want to creat 200gb or 180gb then what value i will have to put while creating partition

Show screenshots, how you create 100GB partition and you get 98GB partition instead.

You should also take into account the "geometry" of your storage drive. In your example, you may have either 98GB, or 102GB, but not 100GB.
