I am making an application to split large files into small ones,
but I need to know the exact size of the drives,
for the 3 1/2" drive, I tought to use 1.44 * 1024 bytes, but
this value is very much longer than the real one,
in Windows, the "1.44"MB appears like 1.38MB.

How do I get the real sizes of the drives ?
Am I miscalculating its values ?

thank you,
