Samsung IDE HDD shows less than total capacity

Hi Everyone,
It's been over a year without any major issues with my PB which is nearly 5 yrs old. However, recently I bought a Samsung (Model: HM160HC) 160GB IDE Hard Disk for back-up. Funnily, it showed me a total capacity of 128GB when I connected it through a External FW Enclosure. This is what it showed me on Disk Utility application before I could format the drive.
The vendor took the drive back, formatted it on a windows machine and gave it back to me where it showed me 160GB total capacity. But when I formatted it (Mac OS Extended, Journaled) though Disk Utility, it once again showed me a total capacity of 128GB and an available space of appx 127GB.
What am I missing here? Need some help very badly, very soon...

Hello eww,
Thanks a ton for your reply. Unfortunately I have two FW Enclosures with identical Chipset and both show 128GB available space. And I will not be able to figure this one out, till I lay my hands on another FW or USB enclosure.
Having said that, when I put the Samsung HDD in the very same FW enclosure which I have after the hard disk came to me MS-Dos formatted, it did show 160GB. I have 2 questions now:
1. How can the same Firweire casing with the same drive inside which is wondows/MS-Dos formatted (on a windows machine) recognize full capacity of 160Gb and when I do a Mac OS Extended-Journaled formatting to the same drive inside the same casing the capacity shown is 128GB?
2. If I decide to put the same Samsung HDD inside my laptop, boot from my external back-up drive, format the internal, will it show full capacity?
Looking forward to a workable solution...

  • Available capacity less than total capacity?

    I just purchased a used iPod 5th generation, model number MA444LL, version 1.2. The capacity reads 27.8 GB but available on reads 16.9 GB. The iPod shows there are no songs. How can I regain this lost capacity on the iPod?

    Restore it in iTunes.

    I think you should review what you wrote. There is no question, hence, my reply. I can't tell by the AM listing what applications are using memory. You need to click on the Real Mem column once or twice to display in descending order.
    Aside from what you see in AM, what exactly is your problem or perceived problem. You are very low on Free Mem at the moment the screen shot was taken. Those displays are not depicting your computer's instantaneous memory usage.

    Memory Usage Performance Guidelines- About the Virtual Memory System
    Understanding top output in the Terminal
    The amount of available RAM for applications is the sum of Free RAM and Inactive RAM. This will change as applications are opened and closed or change from active to inactive status. The Swap figure represents an estimate of the total amount of swap space required for VM if used, but does not necessarily indicate the actual size of the existing swap file. If you are really in need of more RAM that would be indicated by how frequently the system uses VM. If you open the Terminal and run the top command at the prompt you will find information reported on Pageins () and Pageouts (). Pageouts () is the important figure. If the value in the parentheses is 0 (zero) then OS X is not making instantaneous use of VM which means you have adequate physical RAM for the system with the applications you have loaded. If the figure in parentheses is running positive and your hard drive is constantly being used (thrashing) then you need more physical RAM.
    Adding RAM only makes it possible to run more programs concurrently.  It doesn't speed up the computer nor make games run faster.  What it can do is prevent the system from having to use disk-based VM when it runs out of RAM because you are trying to run too many applications concurrently or using applications that are extremely RAM dependent.  It will improve the performance of applications that run mostly in RAM or when loading programs.

  • WL 10.2 Current capacity less than Initial capacity

    Hi all,
    Could you please share any ideas regarding situation below :
    WL10.2 JDBC pool configured with “Initial capacity” = “Max capacity” = 50
    When I checked status of a pool with “weblogic.Admin GET -pretty -type JDBCConnectionPoolRuntime” I got :
    ActiveConnectionsAverageCount: 1
    ActiveConnectionsCurrentCount: 3
    ActiveConnectionsHighCount: 34_
    CachingDisabled: true
    ConnectionDelayTime: 77
    ConnectionLeakProfileCount: 0
    ConnectionsTotalCount: 105
    CurrCapacity: 34_
    DeploymentState: 2
    Enabled: true
    FailuresToReconnectCount: 0
    HighestNumAvailable: 50
    HighestNumUnavailable: 0
    LeakedConnectionCount: 0
    MaxCapacity: 50
    NumAvailable: 31
    NumUnavailable: 0
    Any ideas why CurrCapacity = 34 and less than Initial capacity , In my understanding WL should run with CurrCapacity=50.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi. I there comes an episode where WLS needs to purge it's pool, such as if there was
    a network hiccup or DBMS cycling that killed all the connections, then WLS will repopulate
    the pool lazily, one-by-one as load requires. So, the current contents when purged will
    be zero (less than initial capacity) and has grown for you according to need, to 34 so far.

  • EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.

    EPM 2013 Report is displayed as cut off and shows less than half the width of the report in IE 10 and IE 9.  This issue occurs for some users only.I tried the same url in google chrome and is working fine.
    Can you please help.
    Please find the attached screenshot.

    Hi BJ1986,
    According to your description, I think this issue is caused by the IE browser that runs the report. To trouble shoot this issue, I suggest that we can try to clear internet temporary files, cookies and others in IE browser. And also add this site
    as a trusted site in IE browser to check this issue again.
    If this issue is still existed, it can also be occurred due to the setting or third party add-ons of Internet Explorer (IE). In this scenario, you can try to run IE in compatibility mode to check the issue again. Or I suggest that you can refer to the
    steps below to troubleshoot the issue:
    Click Tools -> Internet options.
    Switch to the Security tab, click Local intranet, and then select Default level.
    Switch to the Advanced tab, and click Restore advanced settings.
    Temporarily disable third party add-ons. For detailed steps, please see the link below:

    Hope this helps.

  • HT1848 On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc?

    I am about to scream if I don't figure this out or just decide to leave Apple and get a Galaxy phone. On itunes, when synced to my pc, I show less than half of the music that is on my iphone 4. How do I get all the music onto my pc? I have read many forums and tried many things, but apple/iTunes is not intuitive at least not on a PC. When I go to devices it won't let me select "transfer music". It's grayed out. Why is this and what can I do? I'd like to delete some of the music off of my iPhone but don't want it gone forever. Pleae help.

    Thanks Turingtest2,
    I appreciate your response. I have done all of the things mentioned, but still when I click on "devices", the "transfer music" option is still not selectable. I see it, but can't select it.  I am running Windows 7 on my PC.
    However, one thing I read makes me take pause. At one point I did erase my computer back to factory settings using the mirrored image. We backed up all information and put the important stuff back on, but I don't believe we did anything with iTunes, so it's a possibility that the music that is in my library now, may only be music I have purchased since then. But, (thinking out loud) that was a while ago and I am pretty sure I have purchased more music than what is in my iTunes library, since then.  Maybe I will approach it from that angle and see what happens.
    It just doesn't make any logical sense that syncing goes from computer to device. Ostensibly then, my iPhone would only have the music that is on my computer after syncing and that is not the case. I still have all my music on my phone. I can see the new music that's on my phone get added to my iTunes library when I connect, which would make one think that syncing occurs both ways. I don't know. It's maddening. Maybe I should just follow my husbands advice and go to an Android. LOL. Or maybe I will take my laptop and phone to the Apple store and make them figure it out. Ha.
    If you have any thoughts about this, let me know. Thanks again.

  • HT5527 Hello, I had 25Go transfered from MobileMe, skimmed down to 5Go now. I cleaned my emails. From mail, on my mac, 'get account information' shows less than 1 Go... From System preferences/iCloud, up to yesterday it showed 12Go... I don't understand!

    Hello, I had 25Go transfered from MobileMe, skimmed down to 5Go now. I cleaned my emails. From mail, on my mac, 'get account information' shows less than 1 Go... From System preferences/iCloud, up to yesterday it showed 12Go...
    I don't understand!
    These information are contradctory. Now my account is locked.
    What Am I supposed to do???
    thanks for your help!

    Well as far as I can tell the only developed alternative to Apple is Microsoft, sure you want to go there?
    iCloud (and Mobile Me before it) are consumer level systems, working correctly they are a poor choice for business use, if you want to stay all Mac try Zimbra if you can let a little Microsoft in the mix use Microsoft Exchange (Mail, iCal & Address Book are compatible as clients), hosted Exchange systems cost about $10 per month.
    Or try to fix what is wrong with your installation (which is clearly not running as it should)

  • GR qty showing less than production order confirmation qty

    Hello Experts,
    Greetings.
    My issue is while doing production order confirmation(CO12),for some materials it shows less GR quantity than the confirmation qty.I m wondering how it can be possible?
    What could be the problem?
    Plz advice.
    Thanks
    Nitin

    Confirmed qty of each operation and delivery qty at the header are two different fields.   Confirmed qty will be the same with the yield to conf. during confirmation.  Whereas, the GR qty is equal to the total sum of quantity received from the order. 
    Check whether during confirmation you create auto GR or not.  If yes, then check the COGI t-code.  There might be some error log of goods receipt in there.  If no, then check GR qty in document goods movement compared to confirmed qty during confirmation.
    Hope it helps.

  • User disk space available showing less than actually available on drive

    Can anyone tell me why the space available to a user would be different, less than, that on the drive?
    My user home folder is showing only 72Gb available, while I've actually still got some 350Gb available on the drive, which I can see in the finder by clicking on the drive. I certainly haven't manually given myself a quota or anything.
    I am using encryption, file vault. And I'm using time machine.

    FileVault only encrypts the Home folder. It does so by creating a sparsebundle type of disc image file. Any space available information you see is related to the sparsebundle. As your Home folder expands in space usage so will the sparsebundle. However, if you remove files from the Home folder the sparsebundle will not shrink.

  • Unable to create the Variable icon which shows Less than or equal to

    Hi Experts,
    when we create a variable normally will get a icon of the variable which say equal to symbol on the varaible icon. Hope everybody know that.
    Now how can we change that variable icon to less than or equal.
    Please can you provide me that information.
    Thanks alot !

    hi,
    when you are trying to restrict the char select range values instead of variable.
    then select the operator type (less than, greate than etc) and in place of value select variable and then give the variable name.
    regards,
    Arvind.

  • FMAVCR01 Consumed Amt Drill down detail results show less than report total

    Our budget reports as well as FMAVCR01 show a consumed amount total of 18,000 for our 1st fiscal year in SAP. But when drilling down to the document journal only 15,750 total items are displayed. Why is that?
    Using FMRP_RFFMTO10X I can tell that the difference is in period 1 in which the Cmmts/act is 5,625 but when drilling down to the document journal only 3,375 is displayed.
    Period 1 is July. Note that we went live on SAP as of October... Period 4. Even after reinitializing our avc ledger, the discrepancy still exists. Any ideas why or how to narrow down the problem or get to the source of the extra 2,250 displayed in budget reports?

    Hi Will,
    Hmmm... That's a tough question without seeing the results of FMAF, at least. Sometimes, something goes wrong with the reassignment (if you did any) or the carry-forward. Sometimes, it's somehow connected to internal process which differs from SAP standard (again, if you have any). Could be really several reasons, but most of them are resulted from enhanced solutions in FM.

  • 80gb iPod has less than 75gb capacity normal?

    80 gb @ 1000byte - marketing. :P
    74,51 gb @ 1024byte - correct.
    every HD manufacturer uses 1000byte instead of 1024byte on the label - it sounds like "more space".

  • IPad Air usage shows less than 16GB

    Hi,
    my iPad air is the 16GB version.  Although when I look in general > about > capacity > 12.8GB
    when I check usage, I see 4.0GB Free 8.8 used.
    question, where has the other 3.2 GB gone?
    nanningal

    Your dog ate it.
    Advertised storage space is computed in decimal. In reality, a 16GB storage space is approximately 14.9GB (if I do my math correctly). Your iOS operating system uses some of that space so you're left with 12.8GB remaining space (8.8GB is used by installed apps, music, video etc).

  • Photosmart 5520 showing new cartridges as less than half full

    I've just replaced the three colour cartridges with genuine HP cartridges.
    There are no printing problems, no error message, yet the Cyan and Blue cartridges are only showing less than half full. The yellow one is showing full.
    I've tried all the steps on the trouble-shooting page here  but no change.
    Is there a solution?

    Hi gordonbp,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I see that the colour ink cartridges are not giving an accurate reading. I do have a couple troubleshooting steps that I would like to run through to see if we can get this issue resolved for you.
    First off, if you have the printer power cable connected to a power bar/strip, please remove it and connect the power cable direct to a wall outlet.  Here is a document that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.  Please note that the printer that is listed in this document is a LaserJet printer and that this is only used as an example seeing that the power issue applies to HP products in general.
    I would also suggest that you attempt to reset the printer once the power cable is in a wall outlet. Here is a document that explains how to do a basic Reset on the printer.
