Short answer to this. No, the data can't magically jump from one computer to another (providing the computer's aren't networked. If they were however, it would be unlikely the files would be stored on floppy)

short answer: no, not normally. long answer: maybe. if the file has a backup copy written on the harddrive somewhere, and someone knows where to look, then, yes.

take the screws off and throw a bucket of water on top of it and then get a blow dryer and dry i did that and now iam in hospitel and pepol are feeding me ice cream and chocolate EVERY MINIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The files cannot be accessed unless they are stored somewhere else on the system or they are in temporary files. in short; no.

NO.

In fact, your question has a false answer. Files saved onto a floppy disk cannot be accessed from the disk unless the user uses the disk in the computer. The only way to access the same files without a disk is to have a backup on another disk, hard drive, or other medium.

Where is the hard drive on Ubuntu 9.10?

Ubuntu does not present logical partitions independently, but as part of a unified file system. This concept is a little hard to explain to a newcomer to Linux. Basically, things like drives or partitions are accessed transparently, just by accessing a specific directory. Lets say you have a single hard drive with a single partition. That drive would be mounted as "/", and most directories you see under "/" would be on that partition. However, files on your DVD drive or floppy drive would be elsewhere, like at /media/dvd or /media/floppy. If you wanted, you could use other partitions on your hard drive as mount points. Accessing "/home/username", for instance, could access files on the other partition if that was how you set it up, without you even thinking about the distinction between the two partitions.


Can files saved on disk be accessed by hard-drive?

Do you mean like a floppy disk, a CD, or a ZIP disk? You should be able to access them unless the files are protected in some way or if the files are corrupted. Does this help? If not, try re-posting your question with a more detailed description of what you want to know. Files downloaded to a hard drive remain on the hard drive of that computer, even if they are subsequently loaded on a CD or floppy disc. If that disc or floppy is opened using a separate computer, the information on the disc is read without involving the hard drive of the computer. No information from the disc is placed on the hard drive of the second computer unless saved to it. yes. you need some sort of interface, called an operating system to arbitrate the exchange of information. ex in dos: copy a:/ c:/ The simple thing to remember a disk,a floppy,a hard disk,DVD,CD,etc are all just storage devices. If something is "copyed" from hard disk to floppy disk then there will be the same data on both.If its "cut" from one and "pasted" to the other then the data will be on the one its pasted to and not on the one "cut" from. In order to access this data an operating system will be needed to read it.If the data was encrypted then the encryption software used will also be needed to decrypt the data again on the computer you are trying to read it.

How do you create bootable disk from ms dos 6.22?

Assuming you're talking about making a bootable floppy disk... You need to format the disk with the /s switch... For example - Format A: /sOnce the disk has formatted - you need to copy the system files (config.sys, config.bat & autoexec.bat) to the disk.This creates the bare minimum files needed to boot a computer from a floppy - and give you the command prompt. There are other files you can add to the disk (such as what the command prompt will look like etc) - but they're entirely for your own choices.


Does the i in ipod have anything to do with imaginary numbers?

Back when the iMac first came out, I believe the i stood for Internet. The iMac was the first computer without a floppy disk drive. The idea was that with the Internet and email becoming so popular, more and more people were emailing files to each other, rather than saving them to a floppy disk. This part is a guess, but I think the letter i became popular enough, that they decided to use it with the ipod, iphone, and now the icloud.
