CD capacity when formatted as a flash drive
Last response: in Storage
Hello,
Nowhere online can I find the specs on the final amount of useable space that will be available when formatting a CD as a flash drive. I'm sure there must be a loss of space, but I wonder how much. Anyone out there hold the answer to this conundrum for me? Thanks a bunch.

A CD when formatted in UDF (what MS refers to as Live File System), for drag and drop use like a flash drive, uses about 150MB for the format overhead, so a 650Mb (74 minute) CD will have around 500MB of usable space.
I think there is some discussion of that here: http://static.highspeedbackbone.net/html/indepth_cd_cap...
