mine is bigger!!, and no that is not photoshop, or cropping, or pasting or anything. That is really a file on my 160gig drive I would guess was created by chkdsk this morning (which ran for over 2.5 hours killing ~180000 files before freezing) Note: this is in reference to my request for file integrity checker thread for those curious.

OK, I'm a n00b, I admit it

how can you have a file that big on a 160 gig hard drive?

Wow... You sure beat me :D Wonder what in the file (or MFT/FAT) is wrong to give that kind of a size? :eek:

See what kind of compression ratio you get from zipping it up :D

imagine trying to send that over 56k modem.
A couple centuries later, you might be 1/2 through.

actually whats really strange is that it doesnt count aganst free drive space, Ive had 50 gig files that have before though so drive reads like 232gigs out of 147gigs and things like that...

All I can say is Im backing up data on the drive and going to reformat it.
