Seagate FreeAgent 500 GB

Just bought this USB-HDD. But at home, I discover that I only have 465 GB available. And the back of the cardboard box says:

"What does it do? Your FreeAgent Pro data mover comes with sowftware that lets you automatically duplicate content to your flash drive, email and contacts to your iPod, photos to a Shutterfly account, or your entire My Documents folder to your FreeAgent Pro. You can also move content to your own online space*, access it from any browser and share it with anyone.

* 500 MB [sic!] Seagate Internet Drive subscription free for 6 months. Subscription fees apply thereafter. More capacity available for additional cost."

Of course I have nothing against Seagate, otherwise I would buy another drive. But I wont register for just a HDD. But can I format the drive so that I have access to all available disc-space?

Plug in the HDD and see what XP's disk manager sees for its partitions.  If it's all 1 partition then you simply have to unhide files and folders and delete them.  If not, then you might have to remove the partitions first.

Formatting the drive, however, might require special software.  Consult the drive documentation to be sure.  Hopefully you can just format it like any other drive, after partition simplification.

Thanks a lot! Since my old external HDD has only 80 GB (internal drive in external USB-casing), its almost half of the old drives space that is omitted.

Well I am getting sick and fed up with the other members here that showing so much immature and child like behaviour here.  I am wondering why the admins here are allowing such behaviour?  I am getting sick and fed up with people here harrassing other members and myself, using others identities without permission, saying things that another persons never said, calling people names (IE Namefag), and slandering other member.  I have helped alot of members here by way of sending mass file sends of what they need, answering the request people make, and posting stuff out of the blue for you to enjoy and is being harrassed and being made fun of anyway to treat someone that helps the members of this place?  No its not.  Respect is earned when its given and I don't respect anyone that does not respect me.  I have even helped the other members here by finding web searches from Google, yes I am getting to like it and the Freeones site.
I am not into Child Porn and anything in that field period, child porn to me is wrong and sick. 
I want to thank the other members that actually lent me an hand by helping with those request I made in the past.  I am being ridiculed by me making the same requests over and over again and I see other here do the samething and they never gotten the same treatment as I have.  Why is that?  I make the same request because I don't know if you posted anything while I was asleep when I make the requests before I go to bed and if I was not on this site when someone if they do help me. 
I know some of you are going to say GTFO (Get The Fuck Out) and I know I have the choice to be here or not.  Why am I still here is something that your going to ask me is this I like the pictures and animated .gif's and this is the only place where I can get hard to find stuff.
Why can we all just get along no matter what the situation is and if you like any other members or not and start not harrassing the other people here?  Even on the internet people have the right not to be harrassed.
