Hi Ged, thanks for the suggestion. I know the usual IT way is to divide by 1024, but unfortunately both HD, CD and DVD capacities (which are the reason for my script) are calculated in multiple of 1000 bytes, which makes then seem bigger than what one may think. I also think that programs like Nero burning return capacity as multiple of 1000 bytes, so looking at the reported capacity and inserting it as parameter in the script is easier. However it may be possible that the default values I have inserted are wrong. If you have more precise numbers/other media capacity feel free to report them to me so that I can update the script with them.

Opps, I used it before changing the way the results are showed. Going to remove it. Thanks Mauro
