| But the "4,472,832" don't looks to low to me (it's just 4.4 Gigabyte) , If 
| it's a 35 / 90 gigabyte disc it should say at least "35,000,000 Kbytes" , 
| Don't you think ?

In my rev0 screen,. it says Volume Size 0.

BTW, why in the world clutter this list with this topic instead of
addressing a message to support at microlite.com?
