In hard disk we use "K" but in Compact disc we use "C". Why it is like this?

There is no difference at all; its just this 'British-English' and 'American-English' confusion.

WEll thats because theres an type of disk its called CD-RW, you apparently have a regular CD-R disk\n\nCD-RW (cd rewriteable) BUt theres a chance you may already have a CD_RW disk so you may want to use the Erase DISk feature on the program u use.

DVD /CDROM and Hard disks are different media. The way they are designed and how they are made are different. The software which sets up the hardware is the driver. Since the hardware is different the programming model (i.e. list of instructions to setup the hardware ) also is different. \n\nFor example DVD has much more features than a regular hard drive. It has support for error correction which is superior\nThat is the reason the drivers are completely different.

DVD:DVD, introduced in 1996, was originally known as Digital Video Disc but soon became known as Digital Versatile Disc. It is the next generation of optical disc storage technology. which shares the same overall dimensions of a CD, but have significantly higher capacities - holding from 4 to 28 times as much data. Single sided DVDs can store 4.7GB for single layer and 8.5GB for dual-layer disks. Double sided DVDs can store 9.4GB for single layer and 17GB for dual-layer disks.\n\nCD : Compact Disc. First generation optical media, introduced in the early 1980s. A CD contains up to 700 MB of data. Is mainly used for audio and for data storage applications that do not require much room. Most Blu-ray Disc products will be compatible with CDs.

There is not much difference, both are writeable CDs. They say that +R is more compatible with most of the computers existing today.

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

At one point of time when DOS followed what is called the 8.3 naming convention. The file name was allowed to be 8 characters long and the extension was 3 characters long.\n\nBack then we needed hacks like htm for html files and mpg for mpeg files.\n\nNow, we dont really need them any more. So basically for all purposes, these are the same things!

Compact disc (or CD) is an optical disc used to store digital data, originally developed for storing digital audio. The format was most popular in the 1990s after the discontinuation of vinyl and before the boom of MP3 files, but continues to be the standard for albums as of 2005.\n\n \nMP3:        \n\n(MPEG-1, Layer 3) Using MPEG audio, one may achieve a typical data reduction of 1:4 by Layer 1 (corresponds with 384 Kbps for a stereo signal), 1:6...1:8 by Layer 2 (corresponds with 256..192 Kbps for a stereo signal), 1:10...1:12 by Layer 3 (corresponds with 128..112 Kbps for a stereo signal). By exploiting stereo effects and by limiting the audio bandwidth, the coding schemes may achieve an acceptable sound quality at even lower bitrates. MPEG Layer-3 is the most powerful member of the MPEG audio coding family. For a given sound quality level, it requires the lowest bitrate - or for a given bitrate, it achieves the highest sound quality. For the use of low bit-rate audio coding schemes in broadcast applications at bitrates of 60 Kbit/s per audio channel, the ITU-R recommends MPEG Layer-3

Typically these are "Compressed Drives" managed by some Windows/3-rd party Compression utilities.\n\nYou would observe that big files take time to get in/out of such network folders.\n\nRight click on those folders and select properties. You will find difference in their "Size" and "Size on Disk" differing..\n\n.:Fishie:.

The  +/- sign is for the Dvd writer.If it displays both  signs it takes both plus and minus dvd's and cd's\nRW means re-writeable disc it will say either+format or -.on the disc

Please clear your question.\n\nA 't' or 'T' as the last character of the "ls -l" mode characters\nindicates that the "sticky" (save text image) bit is set. See ls(1) for\nan explanation the distinction between 't' and 'T'.\n\nThe sticky bit has a different meaning, depending on the type of file it\nis set on...\n\nsticky bit on directories\n=========================\n[From chmod(2)]\nIf the mode bit S_ISVTX (sticky bit) is set on a directory, files\ninside the directory may be renamed or removed only by the owner of\nthe file, the owner of the directory, or the superuser (even if the\nmodes of the directory would otherwise allow such an operation).\n\n[Example]\ndrwxrwxrwt  104 bin        bin          14336 Jun  7 00:59 /tmp\n\nsticky bit on regular files\n===========================\n[From chmod(2)]\nIf an executable file is prepared for sharing, mode bit S_ISVTX prevents\nthe system from abandoning the swap-space image of the program-text\nportion of the file when its last user terminates.  Then, when the next\nuser of the file executes it, the text need not be read from the file\nsystem but can simply be swapped in, thus saving time.\n\n[From HP-UX Kernel Tuning and Performance Guide]\nLocal paging. When applications are located remotely, set the "sticky\nbit"\non the applications binaries, using the chmod +t command. This tells the\nsystem to page the text to the local disk. Otherwise, it is "retrieved"\nacross the network. Of course, this would only apply when there is actual\npaging occurring. More recently, there is a kernel parameter,\npage_text_to_local, which when set to 1, will tell the kernel to page all\nNFS executable text pages to local swap space.\n\n[Example]\n-r-xr-xr-t   6 bin        bin         24111111111664 Nov 14  2000\n/usr/bin/vi\n\nsticky bit on symlinks\n======================\nIn HP-UX 10.0 and later, a symbolic link that has its sticky bit set is\ncalled a transition link (i.e. links to ease the transition to the new\nSVR4 filesystem layout).  Transition links are a bit faster, because  the\nlinked-to filename is stored in the inode itself, instead of using an\nallocation unit to store the link.  For more info on the purpose for\ntransition links, see the tlinstall(update_aid) manpage.\n\nIn order to set the sticky bit on a symlink, one must use the\nundocumented\nlchmod system call (i.e. lchmod("/bin", 041777)).\n\n[Example]\nlr-xr-xr-t   1 root       sys              8 Jun  7 01:00 /bin ->\n/usr/bin

No; A CD uses physical grooves on the disk to store information and a hard drive uses magnetism. Worse, I believe that after you take the disk out of a hard drive you can no longer ever use it because you can't line it up perfectly the way it was before, so you cannot simply put it back in.

C Drive is your primary drive, which usually has your operating system.  What D drive is really depends on how you have partitioned your hard drive.  You can partition your hard drive space to form multiple drive letters.  If you have partitioned your hard drive, then D Drive is another part of your hard drive.  If you have not partitioned your hard drive space, then D Drive is probably your CD Rom drive or DVD drive.

+ and - formats are for DVD's\n\nfor CD's there is only  R and RW\n\nR meaning Write once\nAnd RW meaning Re-Writable\n\nenjoy !

N,because the hard drive has more strorage capacity than the cd-rw drive

You must have dual boot system because C: is always system drive but if you have dual boot then the other OS resides in another partition that can be another HD.\n\nYou can't change it to C because C is always there. There is no computer without C\n\nThose days are gone when Computer had only a floppy drive.
