re: Question about 'Explorer is reporting the wrong amount of free space (FAT32 Free Space Bug)' Thursday, October 2, 2003 at 2:38 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Glen (1 messages posted) Files in a file system take up more space than their size. If you have 1 million 2 byte files, they will consume 512 million bytes of disk. (or some such number, I think it differs based on several factors (OS, size of drive, type of file system, etc)).
