I was reading the forum topic: viewtopic.php?t=2630
I'm curious as to if anyone knows how to get the desired # for the maximum allocation address of F
Eg. He said he made his 120GB cut down to 0x0d59e6e0 (~110GB).
How do you get the convertion from 110 GB to the hex number 0x0d59e6e0
I want to know the process so I can convert my 80GB HD F to only be 60GB.
Anyone?

there are 512bytes in a block, 1000000000 bytes in a harddrive Gigabyte.
110 x 1000000000 / 512
214843750
in hex
CCE4166
Easiest way to transfer between decimal and hex is with the windows calculator. If you want to do it by hand
substitute A for 10, B for 11, C for 12 etc. and read the remainders from bottom to top gives CCE4166

Code: Select all
214843750 / 16 = 13427734 r6
13427734 / 16 = 839233 r6
839233 / 16 = 52452 r1
52452 / 16 = 3278 r4
3278 / 16 = 204 r14
204 / 16 = 12 r12
12 / 16 = 0 r12
If you keep an open mind, will your brain fall out?
