Seeing my computer has developed the nasty habit of just exteremely slowly if I ask it to do more than 1 thing at a time over the last few weeks and generally taking an age to start up and shut down I thought I'd reformat it and pop a clean install of windows onto it.

In preparation for this I asked Itunes to move the music library from its current, soon to be wiped, location onto a different HD.

This all seems to have gone OK. Checking any of the songs shows them as being in the new folder but if I select the properties the old folder shows 14GB of Data in 3,660 files and 438 folders.

The new folder shows 13.9GB of data in 3,300 files but in 464 folders.

Is this just windows not being able to count properly or is there any way to actually check the same files are in each folder?
