I decided to not be lazy and I checked and became disappointed when I haven't indexed it on any of my databases

Anyway, is there a way to sort sparse files or only search for them doesn't use attributes?
Because I have files like..
"Size: 22,9 GB (24 621 875 200 byte)"
"Size on disk: 25,6 MB (26 869 760 byte)"
that does not have the P attribute, I think that's the sparse one.
All it has is A for "Archive".
Hmm, cmd doesn't say there is a sparse one. I thought there was one that was either O or P but neither are for that.
For example I search sparse: and it finds them? Not sure there is a tag for this stuff that Windows has.
It's not just comparing the size and size on disk, if I copy the file above to a different drive it will take 22.9GB on both entries, but it's still just as incomplete.
Even if I use something like http://www.flexhex.com/docs/articles/sparse-files.phtml (Internet Archive) I would still not be able to easily find them.
I found the file above because it's one of the larger files on the drive and I know it's incomplete from before.
But that could be a way to at least keep the sparseness for this full drive copy I am hoping I can do.
