First and always, thank you for all the years of wonderful, very high quality and free utilities.
The "Size On Disk" is reported with wildly incorrect values.

Curious for an explanation ?
I don't think the utility would be affected by low-level hardware Advanced Format (4096 byte instead 512 byte).
Dividing the "Size" value by the "Size on disk" value in this case equals 3.5106 (rounded). (Now I'm curious if that's consistent.)
Standard 4k sector size format for the NTFS file system.
In case you're wondering, NTFSInfo output...

Let me know if any additional information or details may helpful.
Is there a similar commandline Windows utility out there ?
Obviously not a priority, thanks.
By the way, you wouldn't happen to have a ProcExp for Linux would you ? ;-)
(the relatively loose standardizations would make that difficult to pull off)
