Approximately 2,5 GB are simply missing on my hd?

<< < (2/2)

I faced similar problem.I took out my HDD for to my friend .Copied some data.When I came back found that all data was missing .I thought i copied ti in wrong place.But windows was showing correct occupied space.Then  ran ScanDisk from DOS promt it showed erro but recovered all files.
This happens each time i copy something on HDD or even copy something from RedHat 8.0 on FAT32 drive.
I had to scandisk to get files.
Windows really sucks!

Well I dont think its Windows' fault this time. Technicly, "gigabytes" are not just a 1,000,000,000 bytes, its like 1,020,384,382. So while my HD is a 20gb (as in 1 million bytes) the computer reads it as 18.6 (as the larger gigabyte.)
