Hello
I have a USB flashdisc which is my drive J:
I just tried to copy to an external drive, since I want to reformat J:
Now; before copying, I got the following information when I chose "Properties" on J:
Used Space: 656 572 416 byte
Free Space: 366 952 448 byte
Capacity: 1 023 524 864 byte
The copy procedure went ok. No errors.
When I choose "Properties" on the J: folder on the external drive after copying, I get the following numbers:
NB! Please note: I do not know how to translate the text accurately, but the number given to me are:
567 592 343 bytes
585 469 925 bytes
7856 files, 359 folders
Why such a large difference in bytes from source to destination? Have files been lost?

Copy of drive - why do size vary?

Thank you.
Ok; so - bottomline - as long as I got no errors when copying there is nothing to worry about?
