Storage drives are used to store and transfer data files. After data is entered into a computer, is must be saved as a file to preserve its contents after the computer is switched off.

Hard disk: drive HDD Usually fixed inside the computer and stores large volumes of data, which can be accessed and retrieved quickly. A software application must also install files onto the hard disk drive in order to run. when the user requests its use the acess time of a HDD is measured in milliseconds(msec)

Floppy disk drive: A floppy disk drive is like a hard disk, but with removable disks called floppies, floppy disks or diskettes. Floppies can be used to transfer small files from one PC to another (up to 1.4MB) CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive: CD-ROM (Compact Disk – Read Only Memory) CD-ROM -> CD-R -> CD-RW -> DVD -> DVD-R

Computer components SoftwareHardware

Operating Systems software : is the software that runs the computer Microsoft Windows is the operating system a lot of people use. However, there are other forms of systems software such as Unix, Linux, OS2, BeOS, OS-X (MacOS) and so on Operating system cannot run without the BIOS

Common Applications Software Word Processing: Example Microsoft Word Spreadsheets:. Example Microsoft Excel Database: Examples Microsoft Access Presentation: Example Microsoft PowerPoint Web browsing Applications Software must be compatible with the Operating Systems

(Sheet 1) Sara Turn on her computer and then open the word processor to write her homework : What are the steps taken by the computer to do this task in order: Load MS word intothe RAM Run the BIOS software from the ROM the BIOS crries out the Power On Self Test(POST) read the OS files from HDD and copy them to the RAM

two or more computers connected together is called a network

Local Area Network(LAN) Wide Area Network(WAN) less than one square kilometre is a LAN While any network covering more than one square kilometre is WAN.
