I thought he might have a dead 2 GB memory stick. His does say 4096 installed, 4095 total. so OS is seeing the whole four. I am not married to the estimate I used but if he isnt experiencing any problems why worry?

It will take some time and a 2 pass progress bar will show. My apologies were directed to zigzag3143 for the items in bold. The actual calculations are still up for debate.
I will cease to contribute further to this thread.
