Hi! Mark,
Once upon a time, Mark Madronio whispered to All:
MM> I'm using Win95 with IE4 installed. A certain directory has these
MM> readings when I take a look at its Properties:
MM> Size: 3.97MB (4,165,534 bytes), 7,700,480 bytes used
MM> Contains: 122 Files, 3 Folders
MM> Why the two values - 3.97Mb and 4.165Mb?
KB (kilobyte) = 1,024 bytes
MB (megabyte) = 1,048,576 bytes (1,024 * 1,024)
GB (gigabyte) = 1,073,741,824 bytes (1,048,576 * 1,024)
If you divide 4,165,534 bytes by 1,048,576 bytes the result is:
3.972562789917!! (according to the Win95 calculator, that is.)
=8*)
MM> The 7.7Mb value is the space taken when each file takes a 32kb cluster
MM> in the 1.5Gb disk. However I'm using Drivespace, so does that mean that
MM> Win95 isn't even aware that this value isn't applicable?
Probably... just as if it wasn't DriveSpaced.
Cheers,
Paul.
... Some days it's just not worth chewing through the restraints.
