How do you know if a hard drive is 40 GB or 80 GB?

If you have harddisk in hand outside of a computer you can read the model details and specifications printed on the harddisk. If it is inside a computer and you are running the computer with a Windows operating system, you can use File Explorer or My Computer icon to see the harddisk details. If it is a C: drive you can also right click and see properties which will show you total size, used and free space (this size is based on partition information of the drive and is it has more than one partitions or have space that has not been used in the logical drive partition it may show less size compared to the actual physical capacity of the HDD. For more details in a Windows XP machine you can also go to Start-> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management This will give you all the details you need to know about the harddisk drives installed in the computer. - Neeraj Sharma


Does Intel d845gvsr support 250gb harddisk?

Yes. The Intel D845GVSR was one of the first Intel desktop boards to support LBA48. LBA48 addressing allows you to use drives large than 137 GB (127 GiB). Theoretically, you could install up to a 144 PB (petabyte) hard drive, but as 1.) These don't exist yet, and 2.) IDE will long phased out by the time they do, you will likely never reach the largest supported capacity.

If you need 384 MB Memory to install an OS and you have 14.9 GB of free space do you have enough memory for the installation?

That depends. If the requirement is for 384mb of system memory, you may not have enough. If it required 384mb of harddisk space then you absolutely have enough as 384mb is much smaller than 14GB.
