assuming that the drive reads 1.35MB of data per sec, how many bytes can be stored in the center circle? how many bytes can be stored in the outer circle?

Your question is flawed...\n\nThe drive spins the disc faster while reading on the outer area, and slows down as it gets closer to the inner area.\n\nIt's not like an old record player where there is one constant speed.

A Floppy disk (I'm assuming you're talking about a 3.5", not a 5.25"?) holds 1.4 Mb of data. So mainly, it's for holding basic word files, HTML, etc. To lock a Floppy disk from being written on, there is a physical switch which must be flipped on the disk. This prevents the shutter from opening.\n\nA CD holds between 650 and 800 Mb, depending on the brand and if they are newer CDs. A CD can be formatted either as an audio CD, holding between 74 and 80 minutes worth of audio, or a data disk, holding the amounts listed above. When a CD is created or "burned", it has to be formatted to either allow to have more data placed on it, or to be locked (no more data can be saved to it).\n\nThe exception is a CD-RW, where you can access and save data on the disk an unlimited number of times.\n\nFloppy disks are suseptable to being erased when placed in a magnetic field.\n\nCDs may become damaged if exposed to direct sunlight. Also, certain cleaners can damage the disk, and scratches to the disk surface may render it unusable

Limitations on file size would be my guess.

It shouldn't.  Drives are designed to run for several hours.  Now if it were days straight then I'd worry, but an hour?  It'll be fine.

CD-R = write once\nCD-RW = write over and over\n\nThe 52 is the speed that it can write the data at. It basically means that you can write a CD 52 times faster then it would take to listen to it.\n\nWhat OS are you using? That will help people suggest free software for you.

Unlike 3.5" floppies, 5.25" floppies are completely outdated and therefore you will never get a 5.25" USB floppy drive or disks.\nUSB is a technology that emerged long after the 5.25" floppy variation was completely rejected by mankind. Therefore nobody cared to mix the two together. However, you can get 3.5" USB floppy drives and disks. Check out your favourite computer store.\n_______\nViva La Dvorak! - www.dvzine.org

1TB = 1024 GB\n\n1GB = 1024MB and so on\n\nbut if you ask your self why is your 200 gb hdd just say 180 gb it is because windows works with this numbers and hdd companies work with 1000 (thousends) wich is wrong\n1024 is 2^10 and is near the number 1000 in wich all next 1000 has another name\n1st 1000 is Kilo  (K)\n2nd 1000 is Mega (M)\n3rd Giga (G)\n4th Tera (T)\n\n.......\nand I bet you didn't know Google is a name for a 1000 the 30 or the 31 first one i think   :)

Currently, you can get a laptop hard drive that spins at 7200RPM, matching most desktop hard drives. Your computer's performance will be much better with the faster drive. Even 5400 RPM will make a significant difference. You'll get about a 50% max read speed boost by going from 4200 to 5400, and about 100% boost going from 4200 to 7200, which translates into much faster opening of files and programs.

Unfortunatly Windows xp cant see any thing more then around 137 to 143 gigs per drive It has something to do with the way windows formats the drives. I know this for experiance I would love it if there was a way i could do that with my 250 gig drive but NTFS formating and Fat32 prevent it from happening.

Sounds good, but I would make a suggestion...\n\nGet 2 of the HDD's and configure it in a RAID 0 for better read/write speeds.  Or get at least 2 more and configure it into a RAID 0+1 that would give you the speed benefit and provide data protection, too.\n\nMy system speeded up tremendously when I did that.  It once took about an 1.5 hours to copy a DVD movie.  After I configured my system with a RAID 0, the time was reduced to about 25 minutes.\n\nJust a thought.....

No, both hard drives are 4.3 GB. Just check for bad clusters (format it) and if they are OK you can use them

If you look at the disk you will see that there is a little switch on the disk that is switched to the locked position. It is about a quater of an inch big. Real hard to miss. Just look at the disk you will see it.\n\nGlad to help.

Have not seen a chart but here is the math\n\nthe average mp3 is about 3.5 mb\nthere is approximately 1000 mb in a gigabyte\n\nso that is 1000/3.5=285\n\n1 gb=285\n2 gb=570\n3 gb=855\n4 gb=1140\n\n\nI am speaking in terms of songs and not play time

It depends on your system's memory and the capacity of your hard disk/storage\n\nVirtually unlimited

Your hard drive is graphed into a grid when you partition a hard drive. Those sections are blocks in which data is stored. It is normally smaller than your average file so it is stored in more than one block on the hard drive. A contiguous file means that it is stored in the blocks that come one after the other, and there is no information in the middle of the blocks. \n\nExample: You have blocks 1-100 free on your hard drive, you save a file and it takes up blocks 30,31, and 32. Since the blocks come one after the other, the file is contiguous. If there is data on the hard drive and the file has to be separated into different parts of the drive. Say that blocks 2,5, and 7 are used. You save a file and it uses block 1,3,4, and 6. This is an example of a fragmented file because it is separated. Hope this helps.
