Discrepancy in the numbers for “Used Space”

[mittene]

When I highlight the icon for my hard drive in the “My Computer” window , the pie-chart shows that I have used 1.95 GB of space. However, if I open up the hard drive folder, select all items in the hard drive, and then choose to view the properties, it shows that I have actually used 2.60 GB of space, which I’m pretty sure is accurate. Anyone have an idea why the 650 MB is not accounted for in the pie-chart? I’m running Windows 98se.

Hi
far as i know, win95 and win98 pie chart never showed true size of the disk.

same with recyclebin properties.

has been too long ago i looked at ME, it may still show 2GB there too

you think you had discrepencies? my drive bounced back and forth between 4.86 used and 11. something used. talk about discrepencies

FWIW- Saw a win95 computer the other day- the colors and space reported free are exactly opposite- the larger pie slice, which we know is used, shows as free space, and vice versa, and the colors are reversed.
