What does the hard-drive do?

The hard drive is the main memory where most documents and multimedia files are stored, for example music, images and video's. Not only are these files stored on the Hard Drive but also the Operating System is kept on the Hard Drive. A computer can have more than one Hard Drive and these can either be Internal or External. Disk drives (HDD) come in many different sizes in memory; ranging from Kilo-Bite as the smallest and Terabyte as the largest.

What type of data does a hard drive hold?

What does a hard drive actually do?The hard drive actually has 3 main functions in a computerThe purpose of the hard drive is to hold for long term storage both the software that runs your computer, called the Operating System, and the software that allows you to do stuff with your computer are called Applications. Windows is an operating system, MS Word is an application.When your computer boots up, it looks in a a specific place on the hard drive, called the boot sector, to find out what kind of computer it is. It then reads the code in the bootstrap and boots into Windows, Unix, Mac OS, OS2, Linux, FreeBSD, BEOS, or whatever operating system is loaded.So the first function of the hard drive is to store the actual code that runs the computer's functions.The second function of the hard drive is to store Applications and their associated files until the User needs to use them. The information on your hard drive is not DOING anything, it just sits there.When you open an application, the computer goes to where the application is stored on the hard drive and moves the required code into your computer's memory. Before you open Word, it is just sitting on the hard drive, inactive. When you open Word, it is loaded into memory and you can actually do something with it..The information in Memory is where the actual doing takes place.There is one more function of a hard drive, and that is to house the swap file, also called virtual memory. While you are using the computer, part of the hard drive is used to move stuff in and out of memory in order to allow the computer into use more memory than it actually has.To do this, the operating system moves inactive code from true memory to the swap file. As an example, If you are writing a document in Word, most of the code for Word will be active in memory. But if you stop using Word and open PhotoShop to fix a picture you are going to use in the document, the operating system, (Windows) will put most of the code for Word into the swap file and load the code for PhotoShop into memory. When you finish in PhotoShop and switch back to Word, the operating system swaps (hence the name) the code in virtual memory (Word) on the hard drive with the code in true memory (PhotoShop)SO, the hard drive serves 3 functions, it contains the boot sector, stores all the software and data that the computer has, and speeds up the computer by housing the swap file.

What device on a computer is used to store data?

Several Devices on a Computer can be used to store data. The most common is the Hard Drive. Also called the Hard Disk, these are the primary method of computer storage. There is at least one of these in almost every computer. Although, they are starting to be replaces by Solid State Drives, which are another type of computer storage.There are also many external types of storage to.

How do you have lots of memory on computer?

Your Computer will have come with a set amount of memory when you bought it. However if that set amount of memory is not enough for you, then one of the things that you can do is to install more and/or a bigger hard drive. But there is a much more simple option: Buying an external Hard drive is the defiantly the most simple option. These can store from 100GB to 1TB.


Why does your computer keep saying this game is out of memory?

The computer probably keeps saying that the game is out of memory because the amount of space that your computer has allocated on the hard drive for that game has been filled. You will most likely be able to find away to allocate more memory space to the game you are playing by watching a 'How To' video on YouTube.
