cylynders x heads x sectors x 512 bytes = () /1024 to convert to kilobytes =() /1024 to convert to megabytes
the question is asked from the text book however the answer is do your homework yourself as it should be
although the proper formula would have been useful i typed in a search how to calculate a hard drive capacity an was redirected to the exact question from the book thus how i know what that answer says i separated it and provided the formula above as i thought it would be useful for people who are attempting to do there homework themselves
just a thought to add to the other answer though the internet is a great resource don't let it make you lazy
blah !
It depends on how much you bought your PC or the hard disk itself. My current hard disk has a capacity of 400 gb.
The IDE interface is limited to 528 megabytes hard disk capacity
depends on the computer
The number of bytes a hard disk can hold is referred to as its storage capacity. This capacity is typically measured in gigabytes (GB) or terabytes (TB), where 1 TB equals approximately 1,000 GB or 1 trillion bytes. The total capacity is determined by the number of platters, the density of data stored on those platters, and the technology used in the hard disk.
The reason is that the technology of the days the floppy disk was not as advanced as of today.
Depends on how big your hard drive is.
10 MB hard disk
capacity type and speed of the hard drive
A hard disk is what all your files, including the Operating System are stored in. There are many sizes of hard disk and what the capacity is.
hard disk
A 1 TB disk is twice the capacity of a 500 GB disk. I TB = 1000 GB 500 GB = 0.5 TB
