    Western Digital 80GB HD - Free Space Reported Incorrectly :-(

    Alright, second try: 80000MB/1024 = 78.125 GB (this is the way your os calculates it) 80000MB/1000 = 80GB this is the way the company is calculating it to say it is more do you understand that ? 1024Byte = 1KB 1024KByte = 1MB 1024MByte = 1GB

    Pioneer DVD-ROM detected as CD-ROM

    It doesn't matter if it is recognized as cd-rom or dvd by your OS, because the only diverence between those two in the driver is the size of the media, try to put a dvd into it and mount it and you'll recognize that you can read the data

    Western Digital 80GB HD - Free Space Reported Incorrectly :-(

    I think it is because vendors divide by 1000 to get GB out of MB while your system devides by 1024. e.g: 80000MB/1000=80GB 80000MB/1024=78.125MB

    I'm trying to simulate animation in my program... need help....

    you could do such an thing with clearscreen and printf in a loop, but it'll look ugly and I think it is a bit of a silly idea doing such a thing without a header like curses.h ncurses.h (I don't know if they work on windows) or conio.h for msdos

    Size of Harddisc

    i need a c-function that can get me the size of the hd, without using system(), via ftell and fseek i can determine the size of a file, but as soon as i try to use this on eg. dev/hda it all goes wrong, in my programm the file is opened via low-level i/o, it works perfectly as long as i open a...

    1: create a dir where you later want your win partition in: eg: mkdir /windows 2: mount it: mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /windows

    The only reason i can think of is a problem with the windows Bootmanager which hd is your boot device ?
