The Show
Info
option
identifies
the
disk,
lets
you
label
the
disk,
gives
the
number of
folders
and
items,
and
the
number
of
bytes
used
and
available.
You
can
use
this
option to
manage
your
files
on a disk.
You
can also
rename a
file with
the
Show
Info option.
Press
the
[Backspace]
key
to
delete
the
filename,
type a
new
name,
and
either
press the
[Return]
key
or
click on
the OK
button to
write
the
new
filename
on the
disk.
Note:
The ST
Computer
reserves
1024
bytes
on
the
disk for
each
file,
even
if the
file
is
smaller.
Depending
on
the
number
and size
of your
files,
the
number
of bytes
used
plus
the
number of
bytes
available
may not
equal
the exact
storage
capacity
of
the disk.
This
is caused by
the
reserved
byte
factor
for each
file. The
Bytes
Used
and Bytes
Available
options
should
be used
to
monitor
your
disk storage
capacity.
