[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1034377, member: 110816"] Transferring files from one filesystem to different type and drives of different sizes will result in different representations of file sizes..Also if you are running Snow Leopard on your Mac, they've changed to start reporting 1 MB as 1,000,000 bytes as opposed to 1,048,576 bytes.. The way to confirm that the files are the same are to use something called SHA1 checksum. What you should do is generate the SHA1 checksum of the original on the FAT32, and then do the same on the copy on the Mac directory. [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1652]Mac OS X: How to Verify a SHA-1 Digest[/url] The link above will show you how to generate the SHA1, once you do this, what you should see is the EXACT same checksum for both files. If so, they are identical down to the bits..:) Regards [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
