    Guys I have just cloned my HDD on Sony latop to a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 750GB notebook hard drive , now my question is ..Why does the drive only show 659GB capacity ??

    Right click on my computer > manage > disk management
    We should be able to figure it out if you post a screenshot of that

    You should only be getting around 700GB "actual" gigabytes by the way...

    750GB drive gives you 698GB formatted.

    Right click on Computer, Manage, Disk Management. See if there's some sort of recovery partition or something taking up the extra space.
