| 1410960 | 2015-11-04 20:25:00 | Years ago there was a neat little DOS programme that showed the contents of your hard drive in bar graph form, and even showed which files had been opened and written to recently. However, as operating systems changed and hard drives grew there had to be some changes, and whilst I think I have the latest version (at least 10yrs old) and it seems to work fine on Win 7, I’ve just noticed the folder sizes conflict substantially between what Explorer tells me and what DiskFrontier tells me. Soooo, can anyone recommend another similar programme that outputs disk statistics in bar graph form so I can get a third opinion? :thanks 6801 |

| 1410963 | 2015-11-05 01:45:00 | Thanks guys, yes that works fine. :thumbs: The problem with DiskFrontier is it can’t count past 99,999 GB, which doesn’t matter in most cases, but it can see the files OK. The other thing is it has to be in the Root Directory, as for some reason it won’t work from a sub-directory. And, believe it or not, it does work on Win 7 after all these years, just can’t count the file size or drive size if it exceeds 99,999 GB. :D |
