How is binary data stored on a zip disk?
457080
The same way it is stored on any other magnetic media-- there is a read-write head, a tiny electromagnet that creates tiny magnetized spots on the special coating of the disk surface. It writes by magnetizing the little spots and reads by sensing the magnetism in the spots it wrote on. \n\nThe written areas are ones, the areas not written are zeros. That is binary data. The whole rest of the computer, the hardware and the software, is to sort, compare and combine those patterns of 1's and 0's. Everything on the computer, including the windows, the colors, the text and the pixels of photos, the data and the programs that do things with the data, are stored in binary form on disks, either in your machine or on a server somewhere.

100 trillion bits of information is what the human brain can store. it can alway be exceeded though as the brain then utilises the same zones and creates files just like winzip does which are common.

you can create a new (empty) zipped folder, and copy or move files and folders into it to compress them. This is a great way to create smaller files for uploading or emailing.\n\nHere is a shortcut to this whole process that you may find even handier. You can right-click a file or folder -> Send To -> Compressed (Zipped) Folder to create a zipped folder that has the same root name as the file. For instance, if you right click the file MyFile.txt, and send it to a Compressed Folder, then a new folder will appear called MyFile.zip in the same folder as MyFile.txt. If you double-click MyFile.zip, you will see that it contains a copy of MyFile.txt.\n\nYou can select multiple files or folders by holding down the CRTL key while you click individual ones, or by clicking the first one in a list, and holding down SHIFT while you click the last one in a list. Then you can right-click the selected files and use the Send To process above to send them all to a Compressed (Zipped) Folder. The newly created zipped file will use one of the names of the files or folders that you copied, except it will end in .zip for the extension. I'm not sure how Windows decides which filename it chooses, but if you don't like it, you can always right-click the new file, and choose Rename to change the name.

check the FAT. U can read info on DIR or FILE, BIN -> For binary. ASC -> ASCII Text.

I think only by zipping files.

generally the data inside the CD is represented digitally in the form of 0's and 1's. As in one of the answer's, it is said that there is a magnetic material on the CD which is burnt to write 0's and 1's. \n\nBut do we literally write 0's and 1's on the CD to represent data?\n\nThe answer no. 0's and 1's are represented in the form of  ditches and dashes. Similar to the morse code where we have dots and dashes. So to represent a "0", the CD writer burns a small part of the CD to form a ditch like creator on the magnetic surface and to represent a "1" it doesnt burn that part. These ditches that are burnt by the laser beam of the CD writer is not visible to the naked eye neither can we feel those. \n\nThis is some thing similar to the conversion of digital signal into analog signal in a wired or in wireless data communication.\n\nIn this way data is represented digitally in the Compact Disc using the series of 0's and 1's as ditches and dashes respectively.\n\nhope this might give you some information how the CD writing is done.\nBest regards,\nSohan Krishna

Use ZipGenius to encrypt and zip with password. After installing zipgenius, right click file or folder to be zipped. Zip it, then right click the zip and convert to encrypted file in zipgenius line in the right click menu.\n\nThis may protect your files to some extent. Nothing is foolproof.

those are different file extensions that programs use to identify what type of file it is.  The .daa and .iso are data arrchive files that cd burning programs will use when you backup cds to your hard drive.  It is a compressed, encrypted file that only specific programs can read.  The .bin file is a binary file, meaning that the information is litterally stored as 1's and 0's.  .bin files are used by programs, operating systems, etc.  The reason the .iso file is smaller then the .bin is because the .iso is a more complex and compressed way of storing the data.  the .bin file like i said is all 1's and 0's which is what the computer really uses to process data.  So every letter, symbol, action you do on a computer is turned into a series of 1's and 0's for the computer to process.  Every letter for example is represented as a series of 8 1's and 0's.  so A for example is  01000001.  So if you typed out a sentence what would take up less space on the paper.  Hello World.  Or the 1's and 0's that represent the letters and symbols in that sentence.  So that is why the .iso is smaller because it is in essence the complete sentences versus just the 1's and 0's.  Hope that helps

yea you could try to zip the file or just put it on a zip disk floppys are really small

*chuckles* Those lines are not really there, they are simply light reflecting off the surface of the CD's layers. But there are other lines that spiral outward from the center that strore billions of 1s and 0s (called binary) that are read and decoded by the computer.\n\n1  0  0  1  0    -> 1  0  0  1  0  -> 9\n1  2  4  8 16   -> 1+0+0+8+0 -> 9

You should be able to using Nero or Roxio, a BIN file is a image of a DVD.

Well for storage burn an image of it to your harddrive ...iso

I assume you mean zip.  Extract the file to the machine.  Then open the file.

They are stored in a password file and they are encrypted, you won't be able to see what the file contents. It is not in a human readable form.

Actually, you need an application like Nero. An ISO file (also BIN files) are CD images. They are one big file containing data for every file on a CD that someone has ripped to ISO/BIN. When you use Nero to burn a CD from an ISO/BIN image, it places all the original data on the CD. =)

download winrar from:\nhttp://www.rarlab.com\nwinrar is winner best file archiving program.\n\nnote: winzip is always problems.

A zip file is a file that acts like a folder in that you can put other files in it but it also does more than a folder does by compressing the files in it to save space.\n\nFrom your description I am getting that you have a zip file on the desktop named desktop, desktop files or something to that effect. I have never heard of a way to hide the real desktop with a fake one so it must just be a regular old zip file with stuff in it. Just open it like you would a normal folder to view the contents. There are ways to restrict file access though but the average computer user would just put the files in an out of the way location rather than going through the trouble of restricting access.
