i just reinstalled win2000 w/ntfs and i have to answer these questions again. now here is the wierd thing. usually, the "size of all files" is less then "size of all files on disk". but now, after a pretty fresh install of win2000 (and some updates), when i go to look at the "size of all files" and "size of all files on disk"... the first value is greater then that of the second. WHAT?! that does not make any sense to me. is that right? anyone else here using ntfs? wtf is going on? is that normal, or is my win2000 instal just F'ed up? this is supposed to be an easy assignment, but it's just a pain in the balls at this point. :disgust:
 
It will start off that way because of the MFT, which takes space but is not really a file.
 
It's kind of like a file index table. Only NTFS partitions have it, FAT32 does not. It can take anywhere up to or over 10% of your partition space.
