A file system (often also written as filesystem) is a method of storing and organizing computer files and their data. Essentially, it organizes these files into a database for the storage, organization, manipulation, and retrieval by the computer's operating system.
File systems are used on data storage devices such as a hard disks or CD-ROMs to maintain the physical location of the files. Beyond this, they might provide access to data on a file server by acting as clients for a network protocol (e.g., NFS, SMB, or 9P clients), or they may be virtual and exist only as an access method for virtual data (e.g., procfs). It is distinguished from a directory service and registry.

What is used to organize a hard drive?
A file system is used to organize a hard drive. This is part of the operating system that deals with how files are written to and read from the disk, and how the disk is organized.
What are the main benefits of disk fragmentation in Windows?
There are a few potential benefits of doing a disk defrag regularly. It will improve the performance of the hard drive and speed up access to files. The files are organized more efficiently and space is created.
How do you burn files from Gmail on to a disk?
You have to first download the files from Gmail. You can put them anywhere on your hard disk. Then you can burn them to disk.
Why you need to delete unwanted files?
Because unused files accumulate space on hard disk and also causes fragmentation of hard disk.
Does disk caching improve hard- disk performance by compressing files?
No. Disk caching improves hard-disk performance by anticipating data needs.
What allows the operating system to store and organize files on a hard disk?
A file system allows the operating system to store and organize files on a hard disk.
What are the parts of the hard disk?
A hard disk can be either internal or external and one can use it to save files. The parts of a hard disk are the disk case, spindle, disk platter, actuator and the read-write arm.
This stores information and files saved to your computer?
hard drive / hard disk
How can I pull the files off of my old Hard Drive?
(The following assumes that the hard disk is still in working condition.) If the hard disk is in a computer, you can connect it with another computer over a network, and copy the files over the network. You can also connect the old hard disk to your new computer (using a second hard disk cable); in this case, if you manage to make it work, you can copy the files from one disk to another. In this case, the copying itself should be much faster than copying files over a network.
Suppose a user is experiencing hard disk performance issues but no operating system errors What are possible causes of this problem?
Disk compression on commonly-accessed files Files on the hard disk are too fragmented The computer has a virus
The name of the location on a disk where files are stored?
its a hard drive
How do you backup a file?
you copy all the original files to a another hard disk or flash drive before formatting the disk with the original files
