I would first check the capacity of your external hard drive. From "My Computer", right-click the drive letter of the external drive and select Properties. Make sure that the drive has the amount you need in *free* space - it's possible that it's just full with other files.

If this is the first time you're using this drive, you may need to format it before it will recognize its own capacity. Right-click the drive letter and select Format.

download the manual from here

100% faulty, 100% non repairable

the problem is inside the disk,if the hard drive have its warranty return it to store where you bought it,replace it brand new

I just did.

Its happening very frequently.

That's normal. Storage manufacturers consider 1 GB at 1 billion bytes (1,000,000,000 bytes).

Computers, however, use base-2 arithmetic, and one kilobyte is 1024 bytes, one megabyte is 1024 kilobytes, and one gigabyte is 1024 megabytes. This all multiples to 1 gigabyte according to the computer is 1024^3 or 1,073,741,824 bytes.

Take 320,000,000,000 and divide it by 1,073,741,824 and you get 298.023223876953125, so your computer says your "320GB" drive is 298GB.

There's a standard for base-2 (binary) measurement terminology (gibibytes, mebibytes, kibibytes, etc), but few people seem to use it.
