How much time in use zero fill drive?
This depends primarily on the size and the speed of the drive. A 1 TB drive running at about 5400 RPM takes between 3 and 4 hours to give you a rough idea. Other factors such as whether the drive is internal or external, uses SATA or SCSI or IDE will all affect the time it takes.
How do you run the data on your computer?
Information on a computer is stored in the hard drive. When you turn on your computer it takes information from the hard drive and puts it in the RAM (random access memory). In the RAM information like operating system and programs are run. When you turn off the computer the information in the RAM is either saved back to the hard drive or deleted. (That's the short version)
Is there device that you can use to backup your whole computer including OS and programs etc?
This question can be answered in SO many ways. Yes, there is a device you can use to backup your WHOLE computer including OS & programs etc. it's called an external hard drive or external TBU unit. Now for the actual copying of the entire drive, I recommend using a GHOST program. Norton makes a decent one called "Ghost". The program just replicates your ENTIRE hard drive, OS and all onto the backup drive. The coolest thing about this "Ghost" program is, if your entire drive can be crammed onto 1 burnable cd, you can set it up to be a boot-able disc and your entire PC back up & running in the time it takes to burn a CD!

What does the drive label the BIOS and the operating system sometimes report different sizes for a hard drive?
BIOS is only to detect the drivers. You will see each driver in the BIOS setting. If you have 2 hard drives, you will see 2 drives in BIOS,but if BIOS Only recognize 1,that means 1 drive have a problem. Happen to me many times. Then when finally you are in windows(desktop)then you click on my computer and click on every hard drive then you will see the size of every drive. But not the 1 that was not recognized,because it will not be present.
