hb_DiskSpace() Shows Incorrect Value

[esgici]

Hello Sudip

Thanks to your interest and research effort, but;

my concern is difference between free space values, no file sizes; (and reason of two different file size is already explained above).

For diskette, these two values is equal, as shown in my last post in this topic; but unequal for hard-disk as shown in the my first post.

In other hand, "cluster" (or allocation unit) is different to track and sector concepts.

Regards

Esgici, my Windows Vista shows both the sizes correctly.

Interesting

Perhaps M$ improved DOS box

Do you like testing please hb_DiskSpace('C:', HB_DISK_FREE) as explained by Micheal in the first post of this topic.

Hello Esgici,

The difference may be due to Windows temporary files

Yes, I found - my computer (Win 7) shows diffent values of free bytes after some time interval using DIR command. I also found disk properties shows the same value (same to Rathi's finding).

So temporary files may be the reason.

What do you think

Hello Sudip

Probably you are right

While criticize I don't consider that Windows is a multi-tasking OS. So, may be some applications run at background and it's very possible that our disk(s) is under usage out of our eyes and knowledge
