It should show up as about 14.7GB, something near there? That's to be expected - the printed figures on hard disks, USB drives, any digital storage are always larger than what you'll really get - as a gigabyte as far as windows sees it, is 1024MB, not 1000. If you wish to store large files (over 4GB per file) on your drive, however, you will need to convert it to NTFS.
After a failed attempt at trying to convert this drive to ntfs, i now got a message that it cant be read, because it is corrupted or unreadable....a friend told me to use gparted, but i don't understand that program, is their anything i can use?
Hmm, it's possible that the drive won't accept NTFS - but I don't see why it wouldn't. I used Acronis Diskdirector to setup my partitions a little while back.
