Will the Removal of the Seal Void the Guarantee?
Answer: You may open the case, but you will lose the guarantee for claims of
missing components, i.e. after removing the seal you cannot claim for missing parts.
Warning: When original components get damaged during the installation of third-
party devices, you will lose the guarantee on these components.
Why does My Computer show a smaller hard disk size than the advertised
size, e.g. 298GB instead of the advertised 320GB?
Solution: The reason is the different units used for calculating this value. The hard
disk manufacturer defines the size of one Kilobyte as 1,000 bytes. But one Kilobyte
actually consists of 1,024 bytes. So, for example, the real size of a 320GB hard disk
is the following:
320,000,000,000 bytes are, according to the manufacturer's definition, 320 GB,
because they always divide by 1,000.
However, the real size is:
320,000,000,000 bytes / 1,024 = 312,500,000 Kilobytes
312,500,000 Kilobytes / 1,024 = 305,175.78125 MB
305,175.78125 MB / 1,024 = 298.023223876953 GB
