I inserted a 1.44 disk. It loaded I went to A: and I clicked properties. The size was 1.38MB!
"Even If Its Old Its Still A Good Computer"
If you look at the properties of a blank 3 1/2" disk you will see next to
Free space: 1,457,664 bytes 1.38 MB.As a measure of computer processor storage and real and virtual memory, a megabyte (abbreviated MB) is 2 to the 20th power bytes, or 1,048,576 bytes
in decimal notation.Where a kilobyte is 1024 not 1000 bytes.
1024 * 1024 = 1,048,576
1000 * 1000 = 1,000,0001,457,664/1,000,000 = 1.457664 or 1.44 MB
1,457,664/1,048,576 = 1.39013671875 or 1.38 MB
