The electronic circuitry that controls and manages the operation of floppy or hard disks installed in the computer.\nn computer science, a special purpose chip and associated circuitry that directs and controls reading from and writing to a computer's disk drive. Transferring information to and from a disk drive is a complex operation, and a disk controller handles such tasks as positioning the read/write head, mediating between the drive and the microprocessor, and controlling the transfer of information to and from memory. Disk controllers are used with both floppy disk drives and hard disks. ...\nA hardware circuit which translates instructions about disk access from the operating system to the physical disk. This provides a layer of abstraction that means that an operating system does not need to know how to talk to the many different types of disks, but only needs to know about the (comparatively low) number of types of disk controller. Common disk controller types are IDE and SCSI.

I agree with Freman on this but there are partition managers that let you switch back and forth relatively quickly.  Just google 'partition manager' or something and you'll get a list of them.

You need to verify that your controller supports hot-swap.  Some early controllers did not support this.  Also I think many cheap on-board controllers may not support it.  Also remember you can't hot swap your OS drive.\n\nBut the short answer is no, raid is not required to have a hot swap sata drive.

As a general rule, I keep hard drives on one controller and CD/DVD drives on another.  You can check the pin setting for the hard drive, I would use CS(cable select)when using it as a secondary drive.

To be more specific, a disk buffer is temporary memory associated witht he disk controller.  It functions like a cache in that it stores the most recently accessed data thereby providing faster access to it when it is subsequently referenced.  Generally, the larger the size the better since more information can be stored in the buffer.  If writing data, the buffer can store it until the physical write can be completed by the read/write head without holding up future data transfers.  Overall, the performance of I/O to the disk drive is improved.

Removable storage device; this term is related to computer storage. CD-ROM and USB Flash Drives and USB Hard Disks are devices which falls in this category. \n\nThe best thing with these devices is they are portable and plug and play in nature.\n\nGood Luck

I use Acronis Disk Director to manage my hard drive. It's very reliable and fully-featured software that can be used for many purposes. One can resize, move, copy, split, and merge partitions without any data loss, also one can run and manage multiple operating systems and recover accidentally deleted partition using the utilities of ADD. You can learn more about this disk management tool here: http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing/products/diskdirector/

False it is a primary storage device atleast for most computers. Secondary storage would be something like a CD-R or DVD-R

If you are using Windows XP it's called "diskpart". Go to Help and Support from your start menu for info. You do not need the CD for this.

I asked my OH who is a techy and he says it is best to just borrow a genuine disk from somewhere as all disks are the same. The only difference between them all is the number.\n\nYou can find sites to download copy disks but they are really not worth the trouble.\n\nGood luck.
