700 MB CD
Hey i saw your CD question. 1 GB is equal to 1000 MB (metric, 103) or 1024 (binary, 210). either way, it apears your My Documents folder is about 5 GB or 5000 MB. You will need several CDs, or perhaps 1 or 2 DVD's (if you have a DVD burner). Also, you may want to sort thru it first and delete stuff you dont need. you can also zip the folder to reduce its size. to zip the folder in Windows XP, open My Computer, open Local Disk C, then in C, right-click the folder space and click New>Compressed (zipped) Folder. now drag your My Documents folder into the zipped folder. If you have lots music or videos in there, it is unlikely you will shrink 5000 MB to fit on one CD. instead, create more than one zip folder and drag some files into each one, then burn each zip folder on to one CD. if you are not using Windows XP, then the above instructions for creating a zip folder wont work. you will need WinZip or a similar program. you can get a free trial at WinZip.com 12:45, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
