1GB = 1,024 MB = 1,048,576 KB = 1,073,741,824 bytes. Example: A
hard drive with a capacity of 120 GB will show up on Windows and
Mac with a capacity of, say, 111.8 GB. The actual number of avail-
able bytes is 120,044,335,923, which is just over 120 GB (decimal).

Hard drive manufacturers use the decimal method because it is
simpler and less confusing to consumers who may not be familiar
with the base 2 number system. Manufacturers of operating sys-
tems do not need to concern themselves with this issue, so they
typically use the more traditional binary method. As long as the
drive displays the correct number of bytes (approximately), you are
getting the drive’s full capacity. The reason we say that the number
of bytes will be approximate is because operating systems reserve
a small amount of disk space for their own purposes. The actual
amount may vary depending on the operating system.

Q: Can I use my AcomData Drive to copy an operating system
from one computer to another?
A: You cannot transfer an installed operating system to another
computer or hard drive simply by copying the operating system’s
files. In order to install an operating system, you’ll need to follow
the manufacturer’s installation procedure. If you wish to transfer
the contents of one startup disk to another, you will first need to
properly install the operating system on the target drive. You can
then use your AcomData Drive to copy over your files (except the
operating system).

If you use your AcomData drive as a backup device, and you use
the Backup operation in Retrospect Express, it is possible to back-
up the entire contents of your computer’s startup disk, including
the operating system and all associated files. If your computer’s
startup disk becomes unresponsive, you can restore the entire
disk from your AcomData Drive. See the Help menu in Retrospect
