I just used boot and nuke to wipe my hard drive and reinstall my OS systems. When selecting the hard drive I noticed that there were only 931gb free in my hard drive.
Is this normal? It sees like a strange number as I though terabyte drives held 1024gb.
Is some of the hard drive hidden? Are there any programs that can check?
Thanks in advanced for any help with this!
df -h
returns the following:

EDIT: I am literally installing the dual boot system as we speak. Windows first, here is a breakdown of what Windows 10 sees:
So total size is 931.51GB. That is a very strange number.
df -h
andlsblk
? edit your question to include that information. And by the way a TerraByte is supposedly 1024 GigaByte.
