I just wrote a small program in Perl to take the output file number from "dir /s /a" and add this for all the partitions on my computer. If you can think of an easy way to do this under linux/etc, excellent. If not, count as many files as you can (i have many duplicates of some files for unknown reasons - every copy counts separately).
