I’ve read that before, but notice this screenshot
Notice the CAPACITY and FREE SPACE reported under COMPUTER MANAGEMENT, and the capacity reported by the disk properties is different?
Furthermore:
Command line CLEARY RECOGNIZES that there are 493 GB of FREE SPACE !!!
Does that mean if i copy files using command prompt, i can use up the full capacity?
Here’s the different capacity report
- Local Disk Properties
Capacity: 500.11 GB Free Space: 493.45 GB
But it is “rounded up” to
Capacity: 465 GB Free Space: 459 GB
- Computer Management
Capacity 465.76 GB Free Space: 459.55 GB
- Western Digital Data Lifeguard Diagnostic
Capacity: 500.11 GB Free Space: 493.45 GB
- Bios info
Capacity: 500 GB
- Command Prompt
Capacity: 500 GB Free Space: 493 GB
Clearly Windows XP is able to see the correct capacity under command prompt.
But for some reason, it reports the wrong capacity under windows explorer.
Isn’t this strange?
