How much HD space? ... I just formatted my 1710. Windows says I have 95 gigs before I formatted. Is this correct? I thought I was supposed to have 100i gigs.

That is indeed correct, It's a regular condition for your hard drive. Congrats on the M1710!

I second the comment left.
When you buy a 500 gig HDD, you actually get about 465gigs.
Your # seems correct though. Since i too have a 100 gig. and I get about 96.5.
