Alright, second try: 80000MB/1024 = 78.125 GB (this is the way your os calculates it) 80000MB/1000 = 80GB this is the way the company is calculating it to say it is more do you understand that ? 1024Byte = 1KB 1024KByte = 1MB 1024MByte = 1GB

It doesn't matter if it is recognized as cd-rom or dvd by your OS, because the only diverence between those two in the driver is the size of the media, try to put a dvd into it and mount it and you'll recognize that you can read the data

uups 78.125GB of course, sorry my fault ;)

I think it is because vendors divide by 1000 to get GB out of MB while your system devides by 1024. e.g: 80000MB/1000=80GB 80000MB/1024=78.125MB

i have 2 integersand want to make them to 1 float, eg: int i,j; i=3; j=234567323; float f=3.234567323

you could do such an thing with clearscreen and printf in a loop, but it'll look ugly and I think it is a bit of a silly idea doing such a thing without a header like curses.h ncurses.h (I don't know if they work on windows) or conio.h for msdos

does the problem only occur while using WinXP ? In other words after reinstalling xp have you tried another os ?

sorry, i just forgot to enter the close in the post it is in my real prog, also are the params, i just posted a real slim code fragment, sorryy anout that

I finally found the solution: #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <time.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <linux/fs.h> #include <sys/ioctl.h> #include <linux/hdreg.h> void main () { int fd...

i am looking for a good man/tutorial or information about the functions of sys/ioctl, is it possible to get information about a device with this header ?

any idea where i can find the source of &quot;fd&quot; too ?

any idea where i can find the source of fd ?

thx, that'll help

where can i find the source code of hdparm ?

i need a c-function that can get me the size of the hd, without using system(), via ftell and fseek i can determine the size of a file, but as soon as i try to use this on eg. dev/hda it all goes wrong, in my programm the file is opened via low-level i/o, it works perfectly as long as i open a...
