When numerical modifiers such as K, M, and G are used, they typically indicate powers of 2, not powers of 10. For example, 1 KB equals 1 024 bytes (2 10), 1 MB equals 1 048 576 bytes (2 20), and 1 GB equals 1 073 741 824 bytes (230). When expressing storage capacity, MB equals 1 000 KB (1 024 000). The value is determined by counting the number of sectors and assuming that every two sectors equals 1 KB. Note: Depending on the operating system and other system requirements, the storage capacity available to the user might vary. viii Technical Information Manual
