Why is it a good idea to write protect a floppy disk?
It is a good idea to write protect on a floppy disk because it is a back to make sure the disk doesn't get overwritten. A disk can also be write protected by pushing a small tab on top of the disk to reveal a hole.
Can a magnet erase the memory of a CD or floppy disk?
The best way to clean a floppy disk is with an electromagnet not a regular magnet. If you can put it to the back of a large speaker when the speaker is turned on, that should work. On the other hand, if you wait about 10 years, that will also do it.
6 What can a user do to keep from having the administrator reset a forgotten password?
Create a forgotten password floppy disk. If no floppy is available then save it to a notepad file on your personal network folder. It is also a great idea to write it all down in a planner.
I boot windows 7 and it says disk read error- no idea why i didn't install anything dodgy any ideas?
If you have a floppy or Cd drive, remove any Cd or floppy and restart. Or else your OS crashed, that's all. You'll need a complete reinstall. :)
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.
3 of your floppy drives have stoped working at first they will display the message this floppy disk is not formated but later they will just say that the floppy drive is not ready and not read any dis?
Dont discount the idea that your disks may be bad. Floppy disks have been around a long time and disks which are more than a couple years old may no longer be readable. To test this theory, get some new floppies & format them with the new drive. Put some data on there & see if you can retrieve it. If this doesnt work, then yes, you probably have a bad floppy drive (or drives). Note, it is an easy mistake to make to put the ribbon cable on backwards. If the light on the drive comes on & stays on even when there is no disk, that is a sure sign that the ribbon cable is on backwards.
How did the idea for floppy disks originate?
someone thought of an easier way to get music
How does the magnet works on cold and hot temperature and what important idea.?
The strength of a magnet can be affected by temperature. In cold temperatures, a magnet's strength increases, while in hot temperatures, the strength decreases. This is because temperature affects the alignment of atoms within the magnet, which in turn affects the magnet's ability to produce a magnetic field. An important idea to note is that extreme temperatures can demagnetize a magnet altogether.
You want to take windows xp off your dell latitude cpi and install windows 98 se how can you do this?
You can create a bootable MS-DOS floppy disk, and put on it the utility which is called format.com. After that you boot your PC up from the floppy disk and use format.com to format the partion where windows xp is installed. Before you start you have to make sure that you have a windows xp installtion CD and a serial number for the windows xp. After you have formatted the partion boot up your PC from the installation CD and follow instructions. Better Idea - If Windows XP was installed with NTSF formatting, this idea won't work. You should do "fdisk" from a bootable floppy before you install Win98. This way the installation will properly format the disk for your new installation. Why don't you go back to Windows 2000 instead of 98?? It crashes a lot less often and will run fine on the old cpi. You will still need 128mb memory for either one to run decent.
What items that can be damaged by a magnet?
Pretty much any electronics with wires. The metal inside the wires and generally attracted to the magnet. For example, it is a TERRIBLE idea to put a magnet next to or on a computer or computer monitor. It will distort anything and everything inside the computer.
