    Hello all, I have a zd8000 with a 60 gb hdd and I formatted it and it runs ok but I see only 55.8gb instead of 60 or at least 59. I thought there might be a partition that I can't read that might be taking the space so I used KillDisk to write zeroes and even KillDisk saw 55.8 instead of 60. Is this normal? did I screw something up and have a partition wasting space?
