Hi,

Your harddisk is 60 marketing GB (see below).
> #fdisk -l
>
> Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 7476 cylinders
> Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
7476*16065*512/1024 = 60050970 KB = 58643.525 MB = 57.269 GB (factor 1024)
> Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
> /dev/hda1 * 1 61 489951 83 Linux
> /dev/hda2 62 7476 59560987+ 8e Unknown
489951 KB + 59560987 KB = 60050938 KB (see above, the + indicates a small
loss).
59560987 KB = 58165.026 MB = 56.802 GB (factor 1024)

PE Size = 4 MB

14541*4 MB = 58164 MB = 56.800 GB = 59559936 KB (factor 1024)
59560987 KB - 59559936 KB = 1051 KB = 1.026 MB ( < 4MB, so no additional PE
is possible).
Don't believe in the disksizes of marketing guys. These guys only know
calculations with 1000 :-)
