Re: FLAC Folder Properties Discrepency
Thanks a lot Dat Ei,
Hewlett Packard took remote-access today and the agent could not understand why this was happening, and had not seen it ever before. But he was not able to solve it. And so he is calling me back tomorrow so that he can investigate the matter further.
I will test out your helpful theory also tomorrow.
Cheers,

Re: FLAC Folder Properties Discrepency
I think it's a Windows bug. I could just reproduce the effect. I've got the same count of files and files sizes for the two shortcuts like "Pictures" (This PC/Computer and Favorites), but a different count and file size if I looked at "Pictures" in the user profile the first time. Once I've changed into the directory "Pictures" and back, I get the same count and file size as for the short cuts.
Maybe, that's not your problem, Paul, but it is definitely a problem.

Re: FLAC Folder Properties Discrepency
Hi guys,
Thanks very much indeed for your responses.
I emailed Hewlett Packard last night and a representative is calling me back in the morning (as I have a query regarding the mains-adaptor also). They said an agent will take remote-access of the PC.
I will have a look at your replies also.
Much appreciated,

Re: FLAC Folder Properties Discrepency
I may be missing what you are doing. But in my own case if I navigate using file explorer to the exact top folder with my music files (including the audio, ripping logs, artwork, subfolders ), then right click and select properties, it shows me the exact number of files, folders, and total size in kB. If I do the same for correspondinzg top folder in my usb backup drives, I get exact same info.
I am not using any search function or folder shortcuts when I do this.Leave a comment:

Re: FLAC Folder Properties Discrepency
Your files copied over perfectly, so I doubt there is any problem with the PC.
You might want to try the Properties searches again when you have some spare time; it may be that they will now run perfectly. It seems that sometimes large searches just don't work right the first time.
I'm reminded of Windows XP showing something like "greater than n MB" when the threshold n was exceeded during the search. (I think n was 247 or a similarly weird number.) Even less helpful than the reports you got, but at least it was intentional.Leave a comment:

Thanks JH,
Do you think there is a serious fault with the PC? I mean, would you have it replaced (or refunded)? Apart from this it seems to be running fine.

Looks like hiccups on Windows' part in the OP; it doesn't seem to have delivered the correct information by either method.Leave a comment:

Hi JH,
Here are the results of the Binary-Comparison. It took about 3 hours to complete.
The scan was between my C-drive and the SD-card.
Cheers.Leave a comment:

Re: FLAC Folder Properties Discrepency
Do the number of files/folders in your backups and your laptop agree? You could have missed something when copying your files over.Leave a comment:
