Have upgraded Dell Latitude E6510 (updated with latest BIOS A16 available from Dell) with WD 750GB HDD purchased thru Dell and confirmed with Dell tech support that HDD is compatible with E6510.

When running ABR11 Disk Management (from boot disk), ABR11 is only able to see just under 700GB of total available disk space and only able to partition volume up to 698.6GB -- why is ABR11 not able to see over 50GB of available disk space? (booting E6510 into its BIOS setup does show installed drive as 750GB HDD)

Also when trying to partition entire available disk space, why does ABR11 always leave at least 2.492MB space unallocated?

From yahoo answers - For the number you got from the tool, it means the actual size of your drive is approximately 698.63 * 1073741824 = 750,148,250,501 bytes.
Most likely that Acronis counts gigabyte as 1024*1024*1024 bytes, while BIOS and HDD manufacturer use decimal 10^9 gigabyte.
