How do you partition a harddisk already running Windows XP without losing your data?

There are several partitioning software packages available. I have used "partition magic", but that is not necessarily an endorsment, since it's an older application and I'm not sure it works on the newer drives.

How do you reformat Windows 98 SE?

If you mean reformatting the hard drive, then go to start>shutdown>restart in DOS mode>okay. Your computer will reboot and stop just short of loading Windows. Type in "format c:" (without the quotes)and press enter. I think this will work;if it doesn't, try "fdisk" and remove the DOS partition. NOTE: Before doing either one, make sure you copy anything you want to keep onto a floppy disk or CD since this will erase all data on your hard drive. If you want to reinstall Windows put the install disk in and reboot the computer.

What area on the status bar is easily can obtain a total average or other inforamtion about the number in a range?

When you select a range of cells, you will see, by default, on the right side of the status bar, "Sum=" followed by the value of the sum of the numeric values in the selected range. You can right click on that part of the status bar and select Average, Count, Max, and other functions to display on the status bar instead of Sum. The value of the function you select, applied to the numbers in the range, will be displayed on the status bar.

What kind of multitasking does Windows NT support?

Yes. Win16 programs on Windows 98 are only capable of cooperative multitasking, meaning that they must be specially designed to work together, or else one will claim all available CPU resources. Win32 programs are capable of preemptive multitasking, meaning they can all share CPU resources and claim or release them as needed.

Are there any risks for renaming files on hard disks?

There really are not many risks. There are only two risks I can think of:

  1. If using an advanced program or the system shell (like command prompt on Windows) one might accidentally remove or change the file extension, which tells Windows and Mac systems what to do with the file. So if "Document1.doc" is renamed to "My Document" it will become unrecognized data. To use the file, the .doc will need to be replaced ("My Document.doc"). However, there is not permanent harm if this happens, and most GUI operating systems hide the file extension altogether.
  2. If a storage device is failing, and you go on a renaming spree, you could in theory, cause portions of the drive to fail making data irretrievable. However, the drive would need to be in very bad shape, any you would need to rename an awful lot of files. In my opinion, this is not even a consideration.

What command is used to prepare a hard drive for first use?

FDISK allows you to establish one or more partitions on the hard drive, so the drive will be ready to accept an operating system.

About 250 if each song is four minutes long. There is no exact answer, because every song is different. Every aspect of a song, down to it's recording can affect it's size. The average song is about 3.5MB on disk. If you were to divide that average in to 1000MB (1GB), the answer you would get would be 285.

What does it mean to reformat a computer?

Actually we usually speak of reformatting the hard driveon the computer. The computer's hard drive is the internal drive that has no removable media. On it will be stored the operating system (such as Windows or Unix), most of the applications (programs) you use, plus all kinds of data files. A hard drive is a disk (or set of disks) with a magnetizable coating on which a recording head can write information. Each kind of computer and operating system has its own way of formatting that information, but they all write in concentric circles, grouping the information into smaller blocks or sectors. Before data can be stored on a hard drive (or any magnetic disk, actually), it must be formatted. This process magnetically creates the writeable areas on the disk. To reformat the disk means to recreate these areas, refreshing the disk to a new state. A full format permanently erases everything on the disk as part of the process. A "quick format" may be available, which will not bother to erase everything but will just mark everything as erased, with pretty much the same result. (Custom programs may be able to recover some erased information, but only if it has not yet been overwritten.) Generally, when you reformat a hard drive--at least, the primary drive on the computer--you want to make it bootable, installing on it the components of the operating system that allow you to run your computer.

What is the meaning of jpg?

It's a file extension for graphic files with the certain method of compression. Usually jpg files take less disk space then, for instance, tiff files. The extension JPG refers to JPEG files. The E is omitted to fit it into the (deprecated) 8.3 file name notation.

JPEG" stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group, the name of the committee that created the image standard. The group was organized in 1986, issuing a standard in 1992, which was approved in 1994 as ISO 10918-1. JPEG is distinct from MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Group), which produces compression schemes for video.

The JPEG file format is a compressed format, with some loss of quality during compression. It is a popular web format due to the generally smaller size of files compared to other formats. File extensions are .jpg, .jpeg, and .jpe.
