I just bought a 250GB Seagate SATA drive and an external enclosure. While I was setting it up and formatting for the first time, the power cable came loose and it lost power. I powered it up again, reformated and it's finished. However, in the drive properties it says there are 71.7MB used and 232GB free out of 249,981,456,384 bytes. If there are 232 free out of almost 250 it sounds like I'm using 18GB. It all looks a bit weird.
Does any of this sound normal? Is there anything else I should be doing before I put this drive into service? I'm running WinXP Pro.
Thanks,
Andrew
