We'll work on a fictitious 120GB drive, which is really not 120GB but rather 120x10**9 bytes in size.
A 120GB disk really is 120GB, which is 120*10^9. G is for giga, which is 10^9, not 2^30. That's Gi: gibi, or giga-binary. See http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/prefixes.html and http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/binary.html .
