1.	Solve : What is contiguous space on a hard disk??
Answer» I need some helpI assume you mean "contiguous free disk SPACE". Hard drives are divided in to blocks of a certain size. When your operating system needs to save a FILE it is SPLIT up into pieces that FIT into these blocks. The system tries to save the file to a sequence of adjacent free blocks because it's faster to find the file again if its not scattered all over the hard drive. Contiguous free disk space is a sequence of blocks large enough to hold a given file. If your system is giving you an error about too little contiguous free disk space you need to defrag it or POSSIBLY free up more disk space.contiguous means "joined together without any gaps".
