Bit? Bytes?
Is a bit a small bit of a byte or is a byte just a small bite from a
bit??? Or maybe a bit is past tense of a byte??? Technology! Grrrrr
<grimace>
GRRRRR is more proper, and I goofed with several computer degrees.
Too basic to remember.
You got BITS only a 1 and or a 0 in one bit location
you got BYTES 8 bits. (8 bit locations)
KB 1024 bytes kilobytes
MB 1024 KB megabytes
GB 1024 MB gigabytes
TB 1024 GB terabytes.
By the way I saw - two days ago - an ad for a 1 TB hard drive for
under $300 and a 5 year warranty. TigerDirect.com
of course MS does not like partitions over 100 - 120 MB
and it is better to have it smaller or larger. This was for
FAT32, but I was told that NTFS tends to use the same rule.
So a computer with The Following Drive Letters
(unless you use NTFS to make a
single volume out of several partitions)
a 250 GB first drive - C:(100gig), F(100), H(<50)
a 1 TB second drive - E: (100gig),G(100), I(100), K(100),L(100) ,
M(100), N(100), O(100), P(100),
Q(<100)
with a CD/DVD drive - D:
