How to lock folder using DOS command?
I am not aware of any way to lock access to a folder directly using command prompt, but there are alternative similar methods.
There is an excellent post on the "Computer Tips From A Computer Guy" weblog, that details how to make a folder work as a link to the Control Panel (locked), or simply open and show the contents (unlocked). His method involves using a batch file to change windows reference to the folder.
He also provides an alternative method using a 3rd party freeware application called Free Hide Folder, which hides the folder completely, the only way to restore it is open the application and provide a password.

How many movies can fit on a 2 terabyte hard drive?

I just ripped 105 movies, and they took up 366 gigs. I only copied the main movie, and not any other features or menus on the DVDs. Also, maybe about 5 of them were only about 25-30 minutes long, while most of the rest were full length movies. This is straight ripping without compression.

How many kilobytes are in a gigabyte?
There are actually two answers to this, depending on what method you want to use to determine the answer.
Standard definition The standard definition for kilobyte is 1,000 (10^3) bytes, just like there are 1,000 meters in a kilometre.
Likewise, the standard definition for gigabyte is 1,000,000,000 (10^9) bytes. Dividing, this means there are 1,000,000 (1 million) kilobytes (kB) in a gigabyte (GB).
This is the definition used for hard drives, portable memory drives (memory cards, USB drives), DVDs, Blu-ray disks, and most measures of performance. Some software (such as Mac OS X and the Linux kernel) uses this definition when displaying file and disk sizes. Memory manufacturer usage Memory manufacturers use a non-standard system that conflicts with the way everyone else measures. By their definition, a kilobyte (written "KB") is 1,024 (2^10) bytes, and a gigabyte (written "GB") is 1,073,741,824 (2^30) bytes.
The correct name for 1,024 bytes is "kilobinary byte" or "kibibyte". The correct name for 1,073,741,824 bytes is "gigabinary byte" or "gibibyte".
This is approximately equal to the above, but you may need to know it to figure out exact numbers:
By this definition, 1 "GB" = 1,048,576 "KB" More correctly, 1 GiB = 1,048,576 KiB
This definition is used by memory manufacturers and some software, like Microsoft Windows.

To begin, a GB, also known as a Gig, is the abbreviation of the word Gigabyte. A byte is a basic unit of measurement of information storage in computer science. Giga is a prefix in the SI system of units denoting 109, or 1,000,000,000. That being said, 1GB can be reffered to as being equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes. However, the exact amount is 1,073,741,824 bytes. One gigabyte contains 1,073,741,824 bytes. (1024 * 1024 * 1024)

a single GB is the same as 1024MB
since you have 2.38
it would be around 2048
I'm not very good with math but that is lower then what you have
a little
