I think it does do this, and more annoying is the fact that other cleaners don't seem to pick it up except for the computer you deleted on, for me anyway with disc cleanup.

Doesn't windows put a recycle bin on mounted disks? It seems to do that for me, but I seem to remember that is configurable. I have an old compact flashmemory with a few megs that I stick in a memory adaptor to exchange filesbetween my pc and my notetaker. Windows seems to create a local recycle binon the compact flash when I delete something. Kind of annoying. Oh well, happy hacking. --le----- Original Message ----- From: "Octavian Rasnita" <orasnita@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 1:20 AM Subject: Re: Calculating a Kilobyte Prove what? That my hard disk has the size I told you about? It is easy to prove without inviting you in Romania. :-)If your theory is right, and somebody has an 80 GB hard disk, than the sizeof that hard disk should be exactly 80000000000 bytes, no more and no less than that. But I don't think there are such hard disks. In that case, no matter if the manufacturers consider that a kilobyte has 1024 bytes or 1000 bytes, the hard disks still don't have exactly 80 GB as advertised, but a little more or less. Do you say that this is not true?

I have a hard disk of 79999631360 bytes. It doesn't begin with "8", but it was advertised as an 80 GB hard disk. If it would be like you and Sina said, it should have some more with around 300 KB. And if would be like you and Sina said, all the hard disks that advertise that have 80 GB, should have exactly the same number of bytes (if they don't have bad sectors which might not be counted), but it is not the case. Each manufacturer makes his hard disk as good as he can, and nobody cares about a few hundread kilobytes or actually tens of megabytes.And this is because they are too powerful. It wouldn't be ok if they wouldsay that a kilobyte has 1000 bytes, because it is not true. If it would be ok, you could found that you bought an ounce of gold which is evaluated to 10 grams instead of more than 28, just because that was the evaluation of the seller.

For example taking an 80 gb hdd if you multiply with 1000 you have 80000 megabytes also you have 80000000 kilobytes and in the end you have 80000000000 bytes Now taking the way back, but we will divide with 1024 we will have: 80000000000/1024=78125000 78125000/1024=76293,9453125 76293,9453125/1024=74,50580596923828125 how we see a 80 gb hdd has in fact 74.5 gb. This is marketing, but they must base their marketing on something and they find such ways. This is similar to sound systems power measuring some of them say the real power (rms) but others use a pmpo measure which is greather than the rms and if you are novice with sound systems, you buy a system with the greater number. For pmpo for example the real (rms) power is about 5% of the pmpo power specified. For example if you find a system which says that its power is 1000 pmpo wats you must be sure that the real (rms) power is about 50 wats.----- Original Message ----- From: "Octavian Rasnita" <orasnita@xxxxxxxxx>To: <programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2008 8:26 AM Subject: Re: Calculating a Kilobyte A file doesn't occupy a certain multiple of sectors, but a multiple of clusters. A cluster can have 4kb or more (and maybe less), depending on the options you use when you format your hard disk. If you use a 32kb cluster as a base for formatting, the access to the harddisk might be a little faster, but more space will remain unoccupied, because if a file has only 1 kb, then 31 kb remains unoccupied, or if a file has 40 kb, it will occupy a cluster and 8kb from the next cluster, the rest of 24 kb will remain unused from the second cluster (or block, orwhatever). But this is not important when talking about the size of the hard disks. No matter how you calculate, I guess no hard disk has exactly 80 GB, or 160GB... these are just sizes advertised by the hard disk manufacturers, in other way said... are only lies. It could be a mess if we could buy hard disk of 76 GB, 77 GB, 79 GB, 81 GB... the manufacturers could promote harder such products. Octavian----- Original Message ----- From: "E.J.

Since information is stored on a disk in sectors there are times that a small amount of information takes up a large amount of space. For instance, a file that is 123 bytes in size may take up 4096 bytes because two files cannot be stored in the same sector. The rule is that a single file can be stored in many sectors, but two files cannot be stored in any one sector.
