whats the difference between "size" and "size on disk" in properties of the folder?

The size of the file is the actual size in number of bytes while the size on disk is the total amount of space that file takes up on that disk based upon how the file system is set up. \n\nFAT file systems, for instance, use "blocks" to store files.  If each block is 4K (4096 bytes) and you have a file that is 11,000 bytes, then the properties will show size on disk as 12288 bytes because it takes 3 blocks to store the file (wasting approximately 1288 bytes of space on the disk).

you either have one hard drive with two partitions or two hard drives..  when you boot your system it will tell you but you can (assuming you have XP) click on start -> all programs -> accesories -> system tools --> system info.\n\nHere go to components -> storage -> drives\n\nThis will break out your drive info - you are interested in Local fixed disks.  It details size, space used/unused of each fixed partition.\n\nYou can also go to the control panel -> admin tools -> computer management -> storage -> disk management .  Here it will show you the disk layout and partitions.  If disk 0 has morethan one drive letter defined to the right of it then you have those partitions on a single hard drive (disk 0 is a single physical drive which can have 1, 2, 3... partions defined as C, D, E).

In My Computer.  Select: Local Disk (C).  View DETAILS, lower left. \nClick on View System Information at the top for the other info.  \n\nClick this link for the kilobyte/megabyte values you requested:\nhttp://familyinternet.about.com/cs/computinghelp/l/aa052401a.htm\n\nHope that helps.

You formatted using FAT32.  Use FAT16 on smaller volumes.

The 72 megs is space used to store the file allocation table, which tells the software reading the disk how to find the files written on it and where they are.\n\n(trust me though, 72 megabytes on a 238 gig hard drive is no noticable loss of space.)

If you mean 'what name is given to the amount of space an object takes up' then as a-man says it's volume.\n\nIf you mean 'how much space does something take up' then it depends on the object.  If it's a simple object like a rectangle then it's the length x width x height, if it's say a spehere then it's the radius cubed multipled by pi multipled by 4 and divided by 3.\n\nIf it's an awkward shape like a tree then stick it in a swimming pool that's filled to the brim and measure how much water slops out of the pool (1 litre of water = 1000cc of volume).  Don't try this at home - it's not good for the tree or the swimming pool.

for PC, you can check the filesize by right clicking the file and selecting properties.\n\nto reduce it's size, you need image editing software compatable with the type of image (jpg, gif, bmp, png).\n\nphotoshop is the best for it, select ::  file > save optimized (or save for web), then play with the settings.\n\nif you just have paint, you can only change it's dimensions ( width by hight in pixels),  format > change canvas size.\n\ngood luck.

Wow! That's a lot of space. Normally, in Internet Explorer, the normal amount is 250MB. You can change this by:\n\n1) Press Alt + T, THEN O\n2) Under Browsing History, click Settings\n3) Change amount of disk space to use to 250MB

in windows explorer, right click on the C: drive <properties> see how much diskspace is left, do disk cleanup.  If that doesn't free up space use explorer to find out files you no longer need.  You might also go to control panel and delete programs you no longer need.

If the folders are smaller than 512mb, yes (or whatever room the drive actually uses).\n\nIf the folders are empty, yes for sure.  Do this to check the combined folder size, hightlight all the folders (Click and drag to include them all or highlight them all another way) Right click on 1 of the folders and select properties.  It should give you the file size of all the folders that way.

That my friend depends on the maximum capacity of your wallet and how much you are willing to part with.\n\nThe processor or the amount of ram have nothing to do with the size of the hard disk.

It's a memory leak.  A type of bug.  When the program uses a section of memory, it never gives it up when its done - so eventually it expands to include all of your usable space.\n\nFile a bug complaint and wait for a patch.

Maybe the file's too big? Or your computer might also have viruses or something.
