Why is WMI important in management software?

Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a set of specifications from Microsoft for consolidating the management of devices and applications in a network from windows computing systems. WMI is installed on all computers with Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Server 2003. It can be downloaded for computers using Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0. WMI is the Microsoft implementation of Web Based Enterprise Management (WBEM), which is built on the Common Information Model (CIM), a computer industry standard for defining device and application characteristics so that system administrators and management programs can control devices and applications from multiple manufacturers or sources in the same way. WMI provides users with information about the status of local or remote computer systems. It also supports such actions as the configuration of security settings, setting and changing system properties, setting and changing permissions for authorized users and user groups, assigning and changing drive labels, scheduling processes to run at specific times, backing up the object repository, and enabling or disabling error logging.

How do you convert a WMM to a WMI?

You don't. You can't. And why you would want to, is beyond me.When you say WMM file, I can only assume you are speaking of a Windows Movie Maker file (which is actually a MSWMM file) that can only be opened/edited within the program itself. Therefore conversion is impossible.Also, why would anybody want to convert a file of any type to a WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) which is a set of extensions to the Windows Driver Model that provides an operating system interface through which instrumented components provide information and notification.

What is the typical hard disk's sector size in bytes?

512 bytes Yes, 512 bytes (0.5 Kb) is the current standar. However, this is likely to be increased to 4096 bytes (4 Kb). Vista and Win7 already support larger sector sizes. The drive can be "asked" programatically in windows using a WMI query (win32_DiskDrive.BytesPerSector) or using a free tool such as WMI Explorer.
