What is a removable disk on a computer?

Because the term 'disc' or 'disc' refers to several different memory formats, 'removable disk' designates those which can be removed and replaced without opening the computer's case. There are a number of different types of removable discs, such as; A floppy disc. Originally an 8 inch disc, this format has shrunk to 3 1/2 inches. Many new computers do not have floppy disc drives, because the format can only hold 1.4 megabytes per disc. There have been several 3 1/2 inch optical disc drives created, which are similar to CD-R/W drives, in that the disc is written to and read by a laser. These drives can be mounted in place of a floppy drive, and have capacities of 20 megabytes, or more. CD-ROM -R/W The compact disc, a 5 inch optical Read Only Memory format, is generally thought of as an audio format, but was adapted for use by computers shortly after its introduction. Many computers can now boot from a CD, and most software is sold on CD. The Read/Write CD drive is now over ten years old, and was introduced as a way to store and transfer data. Drives that can write to a CD are called 'burners', but can only write to special CD's, called CD-R/W or Read/Write. DVD-ROM - R/W. With the introduction of the Digital Video Disc, the amount of data that could be stored on a 5 inch optical disk increased dramatically. The DVD format has gone through the same evolution as the CD format, in that a burner type drive was introduced some years after the ROM drive. However, DVD discs will not work in CD drives, although most DVD drives can read CD's. Generally, a computer will refer to CD and DVD drives under the general heading of CD-ROM drives. The most common use of 'removable disc' is the 3 1/2 inch floppy.

How much memory can a floppy disk hold?

There have been several different types of disks that have been called "floppy" 1.44 megabytes could be stored on the most recent (3 1/2") floppies which were encased in hard plastic. Earlier there were both 5 1/4" and 8" floppies these had a smaller capacities, for example of 360 Kb or 140 Kb respectively


The floppy disk can be used to store over 5 megabytes of data?

A standard floppy disk can hold a maximum of 1.44MB. This is comprised of 720kb of data on both sides of the platter. Some floppy disk drives can read disks of upto 2.88MB in capacity.

Is b drive is the hard disk drive or not?

A long time ago...... The first disk the computer was programmed to access was the Floppy Drive a 5 1/4 or a 3 1/2 single platter floppy disk. This historically was the first boot since the operating system was needed. This was before Hard disks and way before CDROM or DVDROM. Since the first disk to be accessed was given the label A and was the floppy drive the Hard Disk was given the label B.


Differences between a floppy disk and a hard disk?

A floppy disk is a flexible and magnetic data storage system that is removable from the computer that can store up to 3 megabytes of data. A hard disk on the other hand is the main place that a computer stores data. It is a rotating disk that uses magnetic patterns to store data. Floppy disks have been replaced by USB flash drives.These days (2012) you will not find many floppy disks (although just a couple of years ago we had to order special floppy drives for a server because some software would only be installed if it booted from Drive: A a floppy). There were 8 inch and 5 inch and 31/2 inch floppy disks which were common. The latest (diskettes) were the smallest and were protected by a hard plastic casing. Inside a thin Mylar disk coated with a magnetic surface stored the 1.44 Mb that was the capacity of most diskettes. Hard disks have one or more aluminium or glass disks coated with magnetic surfaces. These hold much more information and now (2012) there are units that can store 3Tb or more.

Five different between floppy disk and CD disk?

There are a number of differences between CD and floppy discs. Floppy discs are magnetic and use magnetism to store data, CD drives are optical and read pits in a reflective surface using a laser. CD's have a much higher data density than floppy discs. CD's are a much higher capacity and can be read at much higher speeds than floppy discs.
