Drive size reporting.

What utility will tell me the full capacity of a drive with multiple
partitions in XP?

TIA.

 

Disk Management?

Right-click "My Computer"->Manage->Storage->Disk Management

HTH,
John

 

Control Panel
Administative Tools
Computer Management
Disk Management..... will show the drives and their capacities.

P.

 

Been there, it reports all the individual partitions but not as far as I can
see the whole raw drive.

 

Have I missed a sub-menu that ignores the partitions and reports the size of
the physical drive?

 

`Partitions` in Disk Management show as drives.

 

Yes I noticed that - I want to confirm the capacity of the whole physical
drive.

 

Dbl/click on My computer.
Rt/click on C:/Properties will tell you the size of C:.

If you know that C: was partitioned, then rt/click the
other letter/s, and add the totals.

 

Formatted or not?

Haven't we been here before or very near by? Oh well .....

Belarc Advisor and most likely several of the other usual apps
mentioned.

Any recommendations on how to calculate windows bizarre method of rounding
the drive size numbers?!

 

Right click on "my computer", properties - read what the general tab
has to say.

 

My bad,

Start | Run <type in>
MSINFO32
<enter>

Storage, Disks

 

Well obviously - it has partitions!
I did say so didn't I!

Not at all - my previous question asked if there are any utils to repair FAT
errors and mark blad sectors.

 

X-No-Archive: Yes

Well you did say drive (full capacity), it's the thing partitions are or
aren't on. Partitions are more just the user data space. I didn't feel
like working out average MFT space , cluster size differences, System
Volume information.

Belarc then, and put this in a spreadsheet, sorted by drive X.
