Wingman asked:


For some reason my computer only stores things on my 55 gb hard disk C. Is that all the memory my computer has?

    It will store stuff where you tell it to

    If you have another hard drive, then specify the save path of a document to that drive

    Programs etc will by default be saved on the drive on which the OS is installed

    You may have a partitioned hard drive, where the PC sees the harddrive as several sections, and the “C:\” is only one section

    It will only store permanent data on your hard-drive RAM is tempory storage and the bios… well you don’t need to worry about that.

    To check the space of your hard-drive, go to start, computer, right-click on c:/ and select properties.

    Assuming you can read a simple pie-chart, it tells you the amount of free and used space. Here you can also check the overall storage space on your computer aswell.

    Everything that is stored on your computer is on a hard drive.
    Anything that is in the memory is lost as soon as you turn off the computer.
    Your computer has RAM [random access memory] because whatever you view or work with has to be loaded into the RAM in order for it to run or be seen.
    If you have more than one hard drive, then you can choose to save things on it as well as on the C: drive.

    re: 55Gb .. probably. this was a popular size for disk storage a few years ago. A computer expert can resize it onto a new disk. or you can buy a second disk if it will fit and store extra stuff over there.

    re: memory
    Memory usually refers to RAM .. 256 Mb, 512 Mb and 1Gb are popular sizes. RAM .. random access memory is volatile and reloads when you reboot or unpower your machine. it is not like your disk and does not act like storage over time.

    One often can buy more of this too if you need it.
