Question : Reliable method for calculating disk usage
|
|
What's a more reliable method for calculating disk usage?
1. Right click on a hard drive and select properties, then look at the Used space value 2. Open the hard drive, enable seeing hidden files, select all files/folders, right click, select properties, and look at the Size on disk value.
The first method usually reports slightly larger values.
Thanks

Option 1. Option 2 can have problems accessing and counting files in folders that the current user does not have access to. Personally, I prefer using DIRUSE - a Support Tools/Resource Kit utility available from microsoft - google DIRUSE.EXE DOWNLOAD.
