How do you differentiate a floppy drive data and IDE type data?
Not possible, the same data can be stored both on floppy and HDD.
Can data be stored and received on a floppy disk?
Data can be stored on a floppy disk, since that is what they are designed for. As for whether it can be "received" on one, that is a pretty vague question, as it doesn't address HOW the data is received.
Where data can be stored?
Data can be stored on floppy disk, hard disk, memory stick, CD or DVD.
How long will the data stored on the 3.5 inch floppy last?
Around 35 to 40 years.
How do you get rid of an polymorphic virus?
reformat the hard drive and reload the operating system. then restore from a backup date previous to the date of infection. all data stored between the backup date and the reformat date will be lost.
Information on a floppy disk is stored as what?
It is stored as magnetic impulses, similar to how a tape recorder records, except that the data is digital rather than analog.
On older computers changes are made to the CMOS setup data using a setup program stored on what?
a Floppy Disk
Is it possible to store data without hard disc?
Yes. Data can be stored to removable media such as flash drives, Floppy Disks, Cd's and DVD's.
How frequently should you format a floppy disk?
As little as possible. Floppy disks are prone to corruption and should be accessed as little as possible. It would be generally advised that no data should be stored on a floppy disk, and that any data you have on floppy disk should be removed and backed up on a more reliable format such as flash memory.
Can data be stored on both sides of a floppy disk?
Modern 3.5" floppy disks were/are double sided. Earlier 5.25" floppy disks started out single sided but you could cut out a read only slot and flip them over and use both sides, no guarantees though. Even earlier 8" floppy disks were also single sided but could likewise be cut and flipped over. This is from my own experience not from research.
When you reformat your PC will the connection of internet lost?
Yes, all data will be lost if you reformat your PC.
Which component of the CPU reads data and instructions stored on a floppy disk?
The floppy drive is what actually does the reading. The information is then sent to the central processor unit (CPU) on the motherboard where it is translated. There is no specific part of a CPU dedicated to floppy drive input.
