Which is bigger MB or KB?

MB... 1 MB is 1024 KB (1024 bytes) of disk space. If you are referring to data transfer rates instead, 1 MB is 1000 KB (1000 bytes). Network types rarely refer to bytes per second, but use bits per second instead. So if you are asking because you've read that something is transferred at 2MBps, it likely means 2,000,000 bits per second, not bytes per second.


How many full movies would a 1TB storage hold?

In 1TB you can hold. DivX (cca 700MB) about 1400 DVD (cca 4.3GB) about 230 BluRay (25 or 50GB (dl) about 40 or 20... It's for 1TB, but you should note that 1TB hard disk drive is 1000000000000 bytes, but one kB is 1024, one MB is 1024kB, one GB is 1024 MB, and finally one TB is 1024GB...so, when you see the Properties of the hard drive you always see that the capacity is smaller than it's written on the hard drive's box... That's the reason... If you buy 1TB, You'll actually get 1000000000000 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024 = 0.909 TB

I would restart the computer, then try to reinstall it.If that doesn't work, try cleaning the disk (check for proper disk cleaning technique). Then restart and reinstall.If it still doesn't work, take it back to the store and request a new copy. A store with good customer service should take broken items back if they were sold broken.
