EHow to Disallow few list of URL crawled by google crawler using robots.txt
The value of the Disallow field is always the beginning of the URL path.

Couple of questions about robots and content blocking
Bots don’t care about your internal server-side system (well, they can’t see it to begin with). They visit your website just like a human visitor: by following links (from your own site, from external sites, from your sitemap etc.), and some might possibly also "guess" URLs. So what matters are...
