Hi,
I think I got it now. Dividing "start" by the number of bits in a block
(BlockSize() << 3) we have the block that contains the start bit. And doing
"start" % number of bytes in a block, we have the byte that contains the start
bit. What I still don't understand is why we calculate the "group" that way.
Shouldn't it be (block that contains the start bit) / (number of blocks in an
allocation group)? And the remainder be the actual "groupBlock"? Also, the
AllocationGroupShift() returns the log2 of the number of blocks or bytes in an
allocation group? (I assume it's blocks =)

If you want, I could comment the lines to explain the calculations. Thanks for
your help, =)
