I have a Samsung combo CDRW drive using Nero InCD with XP. I formatted a new
disk in Nero InCD and transferred photographic files to it for archiving in
a single folder. Everything works fine when I open the folder on the disk.
The pictures open in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer and all functions
work...+ - rotate...etc.
My question deals with the size of the folder showing vs the capacity on the
disk.
The disk is a TDK CDRW 12X with a stated capacity of 700 megs on the label.
If I double click my computer with the disk in the drive and right click
properties, what shows is a solid blue full pie with used space showing as
565, 641, 216 bytes.......539 MB.
The capacity below this shows the exact same thing.
Now if I open the folder itself (all the saved files showing) and right
click on an empty space, I come up with 126MB total size for what's in the
folder.
Can someone please tell me how to interpret this? Is the disk full as the
drive blue pie and the numbers there would indicate, or do I have 126 MB in
the folder as it shows on properties for the folder? I'm confused. Why am I
getting a full blue pie on the drive properties and the disk isn't full??
Many thanks if you can help me solve this mystery.
