Notational differences.
The metric system manufacturers use: 1 GB = 1000 MB, 1 MB = 1000 KB, 1 KB = 1000 B.
The binary system in use by computers. 1 GiB = 1024 MiB. 1 MiB = 1024 KiB. 1 KiB = 1024 B.
320*1000*1000*1000/1024/1024/1024 = 298.
You're not missing any space. You're getting thrown off by the difference in measurement systems.

note that if you buy hard drive,you buy the Mb size not the Gb size. for example you buy hard disk 40 Gb you will get 3777 Mb not 40000 Mb.
but I had compare 40,80,120 Gb Samsung, Maxtor and Seagate. the result are Maxtor had a lot size than others

Your hard drive sees 1gb as 1000mbs correct?
BUT, windows reads 1mb as 1024...so do the math...that's where the 22mbs went...you still got them, it's just the windows doesn't read it that way.
