To correctly show the free space on a hard drive while
doing a defrag yo have to go to a DOS prompt and type the
following line:

cipher /Wc:

where /W is the switch and c: is the drive letter.

I have seen this work on W2k SP2 and SP4 - not 100% on the
SP2. I had some SP2 machines where this worked and others
didn't.


that 15% is required. At one time a person showed me a
DOS command that I can run that will correct show the free
space on a hard disk. Does anyone know what that DOS
command is?
