Why size on disk is smaller than Size?
The size is exactly what it sounds like - the size of the file. The size on disk however is not quite as simple. Before I can answer that, we need to review some file system terminology. I'll be using the NTFS file system in these examples, but the same principles apply for most (if not all) other file systems. A cluster is the smallest amount of space that can be allocated on the file system. Cluster size indicates how large the cluster is. The default cluster size for an NTFS volume for a majority of drives around today is 4KB. The size of the volume does change the default cluster size, but for now, we'll assume 4KB. Let's say you have a file that is 1MB. Now, 1MB = 1024KB. So if we divide 1024 by 4 we will get the total number of clusters this file will occupy on the hard drive. In this case, that number is 256. Since these figures divide evenly with no remainder, the size on disk for this file is also going to be 1MB. Now let's use 1.2MB as our example file size. 1.2MB = 1228.8KB. Again, we'll divide 1228.8 by 4 to come up with 307.2. This means that the file will take up 307 whole clusters, and 20% of the last cluster. Since you can not allocate space smaller than a cluster, the entire cluster is considered to be in use. This is where the size on disk value is important. To calculate the size on disk, we have to round the number of clusters up, and then multiply by the cluster size. We'll take 308 * 4 to get 1232KB. In this case, the size will be 1228.8KB, but the size on disk will be 1232KB. So to summarize, the size value is the actual size, but the size on disk measures the amount of space each cluster of the file is going to occupy.
What is the command to move data on drive c so that all clusters of a file are in contiguous location on the drive?
Defrag c:
Why do you need file system?
They organize the data on your hard drive. They help your computer tell where a file has been stored and where to store other files. Think of it as a parking garage. No parking garage/lines and cars go all over the place.
What will the willwipedisk setting do when added to an answer file and activated?
Will delete all partitions on specified drive.
What does all the population in a certain area make up?
What I believe you are referring to is cluster sampling or cluster. In cluster sampling, the population is divided into clusters and all population members in the cluster are sampled.
What keeps track of all the files on the hard disk drive?
File Allocation Table (FAT)
What is a cluster of bombs?
a flock of birds a gaggle of geese a shoal of fish a cluster of bombs ..he he!.. nah, a 'cluster bomb' is actually a nasty bomb that once it explodes it releases more mini bombs (the clusters) all over the place which then explode as ancilliary explosions.
How to transfer audio video internet file to PC file and run without internet connection?
All you have to do is copy all of the files needed (the video player setup if necessary, the video, and all the plugins required to play the video) to a USB drive or storage utility. Then take the memory drive, plug it into your offline PC and copy the files from the drive to your desired location.
How old do you have to be to drive a semi all over the US?
You need to be 16 years old to drive a semi truck all over the United States of America.
What does defrag do?
Defrag simply compacts and organizes files and folders on your hard drive. The problem arises because of the way data is stored on the hard drive. When you delete a file, all you are doing is removing the index, of where the data is really stored. When you then save stuff, reference is made to the index, to find out where the free areas are, on the disc. Use is made of all the free areas on the disc. The free spaces may be smaller than the new file being stored. So the file is broken up and parts of it located all over the physical drive, blotting up the free space. Over time, your drive is full of fragmented files and the drive has to work harder and longer to find all pieces of file, slowing it down. 'Defrag' locates all pieces of broken files and writes them to a fresh area of the disc, so that they are located in one 'contiguous' physical space. It then clears the disc where they were located. Once enough clear area is provided the whole files are then relocated into the space in such a manner as to keep all relevant files close together and so speed up the access time of the hard drive.
