Personal Computer User Manual

When numerical modifiers such as K, M, and G are used, they typically indicate powers of 2, not powers
of 10. For example, 1 KB equals 1 024 bytes (2
10
), 1 MB equals 1 048576 bytes (2
20
), and 1 GB equals
1 073 741 824 bytes (2
30
).
When expressing storage capacity, MB equals 1000 KB (1 024 000). The value is determined by counting
the number of sectors and assuming that every two sectors equals 1 KB.
Note: Depending on the operating system and other system requirements, the storage capacity available
to the user might vary.
