hard disk space for their own purposes. The actual amount can vary,
depending on the operating system.
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 systems
do not need to concern themselves with this issue, so they use the
more traditional binary method.
Q: Can I use my Toshiba 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 (boot) disk to another, you will first
need to properly install the operating system on the target disk.
You can then use your Toshiba Drive to transfer your files (except
the operating system).
Q: Does Toshiba provide data recovery services?
A: Toshiba does not provide data recovery services.
