hard drive is the main storage of a computer system. it varies in capacity depending on the end user's preferences. hard drive is also the hardware where the operating system is actually stored. operating system is the main program running the computer. the most widely used as of today is the windows XP operating system. right now, Windows vista is now available in the market.

The hard drive stores all the computer's information and retains the information when the computer is turned off. A fast hard drive is needed to supply the CPU with data as fast as it needs it. Hard drive sizes are typically measured in GigaBytes. The larger the number, the more applications and games you can have installed. A hard drive can be IDE or SCSI. See IDE or SCSI for more information. For more information, go to my Hard Drive Page. I hope this helps! :)+
