In Windows Operating System - if u right click -> properties of any file, it will show u 2 sizes.
Both will differ.
So, What is the difference between "size" and "size on disk" in the "File properties"

Hi, I have a question about a rather odd behavior of my hard drive. Periodically, my hard drive will produce a sound just like when you shut off the computer where the hard drive slowly stops spinning. then after a few minutes or when I try to open the drive content in windows explorer it will produce a sound that sounds like it's spinning up when you boot up the computer, followed by a few clicking sound after the spin up noise. (This also cause my computer to lock up for a few seconds as it's spinning up)

I'm puzzled, does my hard drives have a energy saving feature or something that I didn't intentinally start or do I have some feature in BIOS that I need to disable to stop this odd behavior.

Thank you very much.

Back in the 1990's we went from 100Mhz to about 1.1Ghz. I could easily see the progress computers were making back then. Now, every time I check the latest computers they all top out at around 3.06Ghz. Surely, I MUST be missing something?

on my just built computer after installation of xp, the os said that error occured and needs to be shut down to prevent damage.
underneath that it said check memory, make sure shadowing and caching are off (how do you check?) and then it said

I just got a new cd rom / cd writer / dvd rom installed in my computer after the old one failed. This one reads cd's at 52X (so did the old one, actually), but some of my cd's (not all of them, but some), make horrible rattling and whining noises when at the lowest speeds. My Tiger Woods game is nearly unplayable because of this (it's so horrible to listen to). This didn't happen in my old CD rom (which, by the way, was also 52X). What's wrong here? Any suggestions?

Had the dust blown out and noise seems louder. All suggestions welcome about how to reduce the noise or how to live with it without going crazy. Guy who blew out the dust told me the noise came from my processor fan. Is that the same as the CPU fan? Tried ear plugs and the noise penetrated the plugs. HELP.

Say i upgrade my computer. I would very much like to buy SATA hard drive since it's much faster than ATA hard drive, graphic card, i have no problem with that, my processor is fine, "people" say, but the real problem is the RAM. I just don't get familiar with DIMM, DDR, and all sorts of things and i don't know how to upgrade my RAM. My RAM is about 256MB and i don't know any information about the RAM. How can i investigate my RAM?

I'm looking at a friends computer right now (trying to fix it), because something is wrong with it. You power it on, nothing is displayed on the monitor. So I placed in a PCI video card, still nothing. The video card is fine. It's from my computer and I'm using it right now to use my computer.

So I took out the RAM, booted up the computer and it did not start making long beeping noises. So I thought the motherboard is bad.

I told him what I thought the problem was, and then told him how to order a new motherboard. It also came with new power supply.

After the new motherboard arrived, I placed it in the computer, along with the new power supply, and booted it up. Still, nothing was displayed on the screen. I took out the RAM and it started beeping at me. I knew the board must not be bad. So I place the RAM back in, and place the same PCI videocard back in the PC. Still nothing.

Could the CPU be bad, or have I over looked something here?

My computer turns off randomly like to a black screen. I have an asus a8n 32 sli deluce motherboard in a antec p180 case with one intake fan two exhaust fans and one fan cooling the powersupply. I dont think it is a heat issue. the computer remains on from 2- 12hours before turning off. When it does turn off I can turn it right back on and it continues to work for several more hours. Email me any ideas as to why this happens or if you need more information. Thanks so much,
