You would need 729 floppy disks to hold 1GB of data. This is because:1 gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes1 floppy disk can hold 1,474,560 bytesSo floppy disks per gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 divided by 1,474,560, which is 728.18 disks. This means you would need 729 disks to hold the full 1GB.
Four (4) startup disks are needed to boot Windows 2000 from floppy disks.

Yes. Many of the first digital cameras stored their photos on floppy disks. A floppy disk may not be able to store a very high resolution image, however.

Yes, a floppy disk will be affected by a magnet. Many floppy disks have magnetic components so coming into contact with permanent magnets can damage them.
The only floppy drive system commercially available today is the 3.5" floppy disk drive. Previously there were both 5.25" and 8.00" disks/drives also available for PC's.
No. The floppy drive interface and the mini-ata interface on many 2.5 inch hard disks may appear compatible, but they are not.
These days (2012) you will not find many floppy disks (although just a couple of years ago we had to order special floppy drives for a server because some software would only be installed if it booted from Drive: A a floppy). There were 8 inch and 5 inch and 31/2 inch floppy disks which were common. The latest (diskettes) were the smallest and were protected by a hard plastic casing. Inside a thin Mylar disk coated with a magnetic surface stored the 1.44 Mb that was the capacity of most diskettes. Hard disks have one or more aluminium or glass disks coated with magnetic surfaces. These hold much more information and now (2012) there are units that can store 3Tb or more.
