This article was previously published under Q197140 SYMPTOMS
If a file transfer from any client to a Windows 2000-based computer is
stopped before the transfer is finished, you may see an incorrect file
size listed for the file.
CAUSE
The full size of the file is reported instead of the actual amount that
was transferred before the interruption. This reported disk space is
physically unavailable until the file is deleted. For example, if a
1-megabyte (MB) transfer was started and the transfer was interrupted at
512 kilobytes (KB), Windows 2000 reports a file size of 1 MB.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, delete the file copy it again.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
