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.
What else can I help you with?
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 is it possible that both programs and data can be stored on the same floppy disk?
Both programs and data can be stored on the same floppy disk because they are simply different types of files that can coexist within the same file system. A floppy disk has a defined storage capacity, which allows it to hold various file formats, including executable programs and user data, as long as the total size does not exceed the disk's limit. The file system organizes these files, allowing the operating system to differentiate between them and access them as needed. Thus, a single floppy disk can serve multiple purposes by containing both types of information.
How long will the data stored on the 3.5 inch floppy last?
Around 35 to 40 years.
The floppy disk can be used to store over 5 megabytes of data?
A standard floppy disk can hold a maximum of 1.44MB. This is comprised of 720kb of data on both sides of the platter. Some floppy disk drives can read disks of upto 2.88MB in capacity.
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.
Can data be stored on both sides of a CD?
Most blank CDs are not double-sided. If you have one that is indeed double-sided, then yes.
On older computers changes are made to the CMOS setup data using a setup program stored on what?
a Floppy Disk
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.
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.
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.
