>I find that du finds 335637 (presumably times 512) Bytes on my hard drive.

On my win95 system, the conversion is 2K not 512.
I got burned by the same thing last weekend and
I've used enough different du's to know better.

Find a large file and do:

	ls -l large_file
	du -s large_file

This usually helps (unless it's sparse :-).
