You should be able to . . what Operating system? . . What program are you using to burn the cd?

XP, i have burned minor files successfully before, i just
have difficulty understanding the space concept of MB.

If i uderstand it correctly, a 430MB file would take up to 61.42% of the disk, not including the lead in and out to reference the file on the cd, most people find that 'burning' a cd using NERO would be better, although i have problems understanding what you can and cannot 'burn'.

Yeah, it would work

A single floppy A disk holds 1.4 MB. That is 1 million (1 MB), 4 thousand bytes (4K)
My first computer only had an 850 MB hard drive. Now hard drives are measured in Gigabytes. 1 GB = 1 million x 1million. I think I've got it right.

If it will help think of kilobytes (KB) as milli-liters and Megabytes(MB) as Liters. So will 430 liters fit into a 700 liter container? Yes.

I guess in the US it would be ounces and gallons?

how many gallons is a megabyte?

 

[Triple6]

Doesn't matter its an analogy, X number of megabytes equal X number of gallons. But with that analogy it would be 1 gallon equals 1 megabyte.

Let's hope he was just kiddin you, Triple6

Yes, lets hope

 

[sharky]

yes, the USA is still using gallons and ounces. i recall
a math book in grade school writing 'in ten years,the USA
will be going to the metirc system'. that was 1970

I think I had that same book but it was in high school. Thought the idea of switching was dumb then, still do.
