common marketlie: telling capacity not in gigabytes (2^30) but in billions 
of bytes. in computers giga always meant 2^30 (like mega 2^20 and kilo 
2^10) but they found just another place to lie.

on all (most) drive there are numbers of sectors written on label.
one sector is half a REAL kilobyte, divide it by 2^21 to get gigabyte 
count.
