Re: Difference between HardLink and Copy



Thanks for your answer! One more question tho - is there a difference
in functionality between XP and Vista? I created Hardlinks to 4
files, each 1GB. When I was done, I had 8 files and each took 1GB.
So it seems like creating a hardlink DOES replicate the file and if
the original files takes 1GB of space, the hardlink does as well
thereby taking 2GB (same as copying).

I thought hardlinks were like shortcuts and only took a few KB. I'm
using Vista.

any thoughts?

Thanks again!
