Solve : Megs To Gigs? |
|
Answer» Can someone please find me a web site that has a converter for megs to GIGS and visa versa 1GB=1024MB im partitioning a 1tb hdd into ike 30 difrent partitions Why? Since there are only 26 letters of the alphabet, and since A and B are reserved for floppy disk, and since you might need an optical disk, and possibly a pen drive and/or card reader, I wonder how you think you are going to do this. ALSO, what's wrong with simple arithmetic? In fact, since disk manufacturers use powers of 10, a "1 TB" drive will have 1,000,000,000,000 bytes, which makes the arithmetic even simpler than I previously thought. Quote Why?

Also, what's wrong with simple arithmetic?Why should we stick with just the 26 letters? Could we use dynamic volumes?You can use mount POINTS, in fact, but I want to know why anybody wants 30 volumes on 1 drive.

He has a shoe shop with 30 little elves and each needs to have their own personal partition on the great hard drive. i may have exaggerated the amount of partitions Quote from: Geek-9pm on June 08, 2010, 01:36:35 PM Should we guess?Why use a partition when a folder would do? Quote from: soybean on June 09, 2010, 07:56:30 AM Why use a partition when a folder would do?Partitions have significant advantages over folders. Quote from: ALLAN on June 09, 2010, 07:58:18 AM Partitions have significant advantages over folders.Yes, but in an example such as that posed by Geek-9pm, folders may be all that's needed. I'm a firm believer in creating partitions for different purposes but a very large number of partitions can, in my opinion, get out of hand. If i were doing it, I'd use a folder for each my little elves but I'd also have those folders on a separate partition. |
