Reason being is that a cd holds 740mb's of information, but with crc and various error checking data cd's only have 650mb's left. This is why a cd full of music takes around 740mb's of room on your harddrive and not 650. -- Chris <- Visit Me At <http://www.frostnet.advicom.net/chris/> -> <------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Public PGP Key: Email chris@frostnet.advicom.net with the subject "retrieve pgpkey" or visit <http://www.frostnet.advicom.net/chris/pgp_key.phtml>
