SUMMARY
When you use Windows for Workgroups or Windows NT File Manager, the
total disk size displayed in the status bar may differ from the
specified formatted size of the disk.
MORE INFORMATION
While these totals may seem incorrect, File Manager is actually
displaying the exact amount of total disk space based on 1K actually
being 1024 bytes and 1 megabyte being 1024K.
(Allocation units * number of bytes in each allocation unit)/1024/1024For example: 1.44 Disk: (2847*512)/1024/1024 = 1.39013671875 megabytesNOTE: Microsoft Windows 3.1 File Manager displays total disk space in kilobytes rather than megabytes. As a result, 1.44 MB disks display as having 1.423K. Additional query words: 3.1 3.11 win95 floppy winnt
