Hard disks can be divided into one to four separate sections, called partitions. Partitions separate your hard disk into individual areas, and each partition may contain a different operating system.
To prepare your hard disk for the MS-DOS operating system, you must create a partition for MS-DOS, called a DOS partition. You can create a DOS partition on your hard disk by using a menudriven utility called fdisk. You must use fdisk if you want to do one of the following:
- Create a primary MS-DOS partition
- Create an extended DOS partition
- Change the active partition
- Delete a DOS partition
- Display partition information
- Review or modify the configuration of another hard disk on your computer

What must you create to prepare your hard disk for the MS-DOS operating system?

You must create a file.
You must create hard disk.
You must create fdisk.
You must create a DOS partition.

The names of your files are kept in a directory on each disk. The directory also contains information on the sizes of the files, and the dates they were created and updated.
If you want to know what files are on your disk, you can use the DIR command. This command tells MS-DOS to display all the files in a specific directory on a disk. For example, if your MS-DOS disks are in drive A and you use the DIR command, the directory display would look similar to this:
Volume in drive A is DOS 3-3
Ответьте на вопрос
What does a directory use for?

A directory only contains information on the files’ sizes, and the dates the files were created.
A directory is a collection of files.
A directory only contains information on the sizes of the files.
A directory contains your files’ names, information on the sizes of the files and the dates the files were created and updated.

MS-DOS is an operating system - a piece of software which looks after the running of your computer. It lets you create and keep track of files, run and link programs, and make use of peripheral devices (for example, printers and disk drives) attached to your computer.
Because your computer can run with one of several different operating systems (for example, MS-DOS, CP/M) the operating system is not built into the computer. Instead it is loaded from disk when the computer is started up.
Once the operating system has been loaded into the computer’s memory the disk from which it was loaded may be removed if required. The operating system needs to be reloaded only if part has been overwritten (when using very large programs, for example) or when the computer is restarted.

A disk is a data storage medium consisting of a flat, circular, magnetic surface on which information can be recorded. You will receive several disks with your computer. These already contain information and programs, and are ready to use.
Blank disks can be used to store your own information and programs, but these disks must be formatted before they can be used.
Disks which contain important information can be write-protected. This means you can read from but not write to the disk, making it impossible to write accidentally over information. Your disks can be write-protected - instructions are included in each box of disks.
Ответьте на вопрос
Why are disks with very important information called write-protected?

Because you can’t read from these disks.
Because you can record all necessary information.
Because they don’t contain written information.
Because you can read from these disks but you can’t write to these disks.

Your computer may have either one or two disk drives, which MS-DOS knows as drives A: and B:.
The default drive is the one which MS-DOS uses unless you tell it to do otherwise. It is shown by the prompt which MS-DOS displays:
A>       drive A is the default drive
B>       drive В is the default drive
Tо change the default disk drive, enter the new drive letter:
A>   B:    changes the default drive from A to В
B>   A:    changes the default drive from В to A

Computers store information on disks in files. A file is a collection of related information such as a computer program or the text of a letter.
Each file is given a unique name, and each filename is stored in a directory. To find out about the files in a directory, use the MS-DOS command DIR.
When referring to a file, you must use a file specification. This consists of a pathname, a filename and an extension (if there is one). As an example, to reference a file on drive B: called FRED.BAS (where the default drive is ‘A’) the correct file specification would be:
B:\FRED.BAS
Ответьте на вопрос
How do you find out about the files?

You must use the default drive.
You must look through all files.
You must use a file specification.
You must use the MS-DOS command DIR.

Basically, the Internet is a network of people and information, linked together by telephone lines which are connected to computers. In fact, more than 100,000 independent networks - public and private - are currently connected to form this vast global communications system. This is the road of the information superhighway.

There are many ways to transport information on this highway, through the various application programs such as e-mail and the World Wide Web. All of these applications are based on a client/server relationship, in which your computer is the client, and a remote computer is the server. Your computer asks for files, and formats the information it receives. The information is actually stored on a remote computer, and is sent to you over the telephone line at your request, usually at the click of a mouse.

Any computer can be used to connect to the Internet. However, this is your personal line on the information superhighway. The slower your computer is, the slower the traffic in your line will be when sending and receiving information. To take advantage of the multimedia components that are available - the video, audio and interactive elements of the Net - it is almost mandatory to have a powerful PC or Apple home computer because multimedia files are much larger than pure text files.

Your computer will use your normal telephone line to transport data while you are connected. There is no need to have a second line installed, though there are some obvious disadvantages to having only one line. The size of your telephone line can also seriously affect the quality and speed of your access. A couple of alternatives to the traditional telephone connection are described in Chapter 4 in the section on access speeds.

Modem: this is a small piece of equipment that translates the digital language your computer speaks into the analogue language used by the telephone, thereby enabling you to send and receive data. The name is a shortened form of modulate-demodulate (translation to analogue-translation to digital). Most new computers are sold with a modem already installed. If yours was not, you will need to do a bit of research into the latest models, to get the best speed and compatibility.

The system of newsgroups is a worldwide network of open discussion groups on thousands of subjects. They are 'open' in that they are not usually supervised or moderated and can be read by anyone that is interested. They are interesting spaces for debate, and there are several dedicated to educational themes.

Chat: This kind of program is a popular way to communicate in real time, that is, instantaneously. Whatever you type into a chat program is immediately visible to the other participants on their computers. You can chat to strangers from around the world who share your hobbies or interests, or even arrange to meet family or friends for a virtual reunion.

When you first open your browser it will often connect to the Internet automatically, taking you right onto the Web. The web page that opens each time you connect is the browser's home page, the index page of your program's web site, so that you can get instant help and bulletins about updates to the software you are using.
You will notice that the browser creates a kind of frame around the web page you are viewing. The top part of the frame, which has drop-down menus and a toolbar, looks a bit like a word-processing program.

Directories use an indexing strategy that makes them distinct from other search tools. They use real live people to search the Web, and to review and categorize the sites by topic. This reduces some of the aggravations that frequently plague the researcher, such as duplication of listings, broken links and out-of-date information. A perfect choice when you have very little idea what is out there, directories are set up to satisfy expert and inexperienced users alike. This is why Yahoo!, one of the pioneer directory sites, is consistently ranked number one in Internet polls.

Each search engine maintains a unique index, and operates in a particular manner. Different search engines use different robots, scan different pages for different information, use different classification and search strategies and display results in different ways. Before using an unfamiliar search engine for the first time it is always sensible to browse through its help file to get a few tips on what it offers. Most of them attempt - at least nominally - to incorporate the more user-friendly directory style in some way, but trying to keep up with them is a continual learning process.

The Internet - alias the Net - is also known as cyberspace, the information superhighway, the online community, the electronic library and the digital revolution: all a series of creative metaphors trying to define it. It has been hyped as the most significant development in communication tools since the invention of the printing press and then condemned as the end of civilization as we know it. So, what is it?

Internet Service Provider: an ISP is a company that acts as a toll gate between you and the Internet. You pay them an annual fee for unlimited use of the Net, or monthly charges according to the amount of time you are actually connected. These companies do not control the content of the Internet, nor how any of it functions, but they offer you access to the Internet.

Most countries have a wide range of ISPs (Internet Service Providers) on offer, so it is best to shop around before you choose one. You should look for an ISP with a local telephone number or you will be paying long-distance telephone call rates. In addition, you will need a supportive company to start with, one that gives you all the software, help setting it up, at least one e-mail account and perhaps even free space to have your own site on the World Wide Web. And that's really all you need to become a part of the online community.

So how did this modern wonder come into existence? In a nutshell, the first version of the Internet was started during the 1960s in the United States as ARPAnet, a defence department network. One computer was linked to another to share information. Gradually, more computers were added to the network, and people began to send simple messages over the network to distant colleagues. This, at that time, incredible communications platform was adopted by the academic community and, with vast improvements added by European computer wizards, became the friendly tool we refer to as the Internet today.

As a form of international communication, the Internet has been in constant expansion since 1973, when the ARPAnet was first connected to the United Kingdom and Norway. Much of northern Europe was connected to the Net in the early 1980s. Japan and Canada soon followed suit. A special link was established between Germany and China at about the same time. And then in the late 1980s the real growth began as Australia, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand and Puerto Rico joined the Net.

Videoconferencing: This is communicating via a live video link over the Internet. Conferencing and telephony applications usually cost no more to use than a local phone call, whether you are speaking to someone across town or on the other side of the world. However, they require a very fast, stable connection to the Net, special software; and of course, a video camera, microphone and speakers. Teachers have been making active use of this technology for several years now, especially in distance education and cross-curricular project work.

If you travel frequently, or want to read your e-mail in several different locations, you might want to register with one of the hundreds of companies that provide e-mail access through the Web. There is no charge for this service, since advertisers cover most of the operating costs, but there are two definite drawbacks to using Web-based e-mail. Firstly, the services are so popular that access to your mail can be very slow, and
secondly, because you must usually be online to use the service, you will be paying telephone and ISP charges for the entire time it takes you to read and reply to your messages.

The customary way of using e-mail is by getting the service from your Internet Service Provider. Most ISPs offer you several e-mail accounts and the software to access them as part of their connections package. This is called POP mail. The only time you need to be online is to retrieve or send new messages. You can read and write the replies while you are disconnected from the Internet, saving lots of time and expense.

The most common mistake people make when they want to delete their address from a mailing list is to send a message to the list itself, so everyone but the computer they wish to communicate with ends up reading their note. So first, check the welcome message for the original e-mail address; the one that you subscribed to. Then send the unsubscribe message, NO subject, NO signature. You should receive an automated reply telling you that your message was received successfully.

The Internet originated in the early 1970s when the United States wanted to make sure that people could communicate after a nuclear war. This needed a free and independent communication network without a centre and it led to a network of computers that could send each other e-mail through cyberspace.

Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) when he discovered a way to jump to different files on his computer using random, or unplanned, links between them. He then wrote a simple coding system, called HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language), to create links to files on any computer connected to the network. This was possible because each file had an individual address, or URL (Uniform Resource Locator). He then used a set of transfer rules, called HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol), to link Web files together across the Internet. Berners-Lee also invented the world’s first browser. This lets you locate and view Web pages and also navigate from one link to another.

The World Wide Web (WWW) became available to everyone in 1991 and the number of Internet users grew from 600,000 to 40 million in five years. Today, that number is much larger and there are now many browsers that provide Web pages, information and other services. You can also do research, download music files, play interactive games, shop, talk in chat rooms and send and receive e-mail on the WWW.

Finding information on the World Wide Web needs an Internet search engine such as Google, Alta Vista or Excite. Search engines have a text box where you type in a keyword or words. A search engine is a software program that reads the keywords in the text box and searches the Internet for Web pages, websites and other Internet files that use them. These documents are shown on the computer screen in a result listing.

When carrying out searches in the Internet, you should usually be specific and brief in your choice of words. If the keyword is too general, or includes too many different meanings, the results listing may not be useful. Different search engines categorize information in different ways, which changes the way they store and retrieve it.

An Internet e-mail address has a user name, the at symbol (@), and a domain name. The user name is the name you choose. The domain has two parts separated by a dot (.). The first part is the network that receives the e-mail and the second is the top-level domain (TLD), which shows the type of organization, such as commercial (.com) or educational (.edu). Sometimes the TLD is a country code, such as .cz (Czech Republic).

If you send an e-mail to a friend in the same domain as you, your Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server simply sends it to the Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) server in your domain, which adds it to your friend’s inbox. If your friend has a different domain name, your SMTP server finds your friend’s SMTP server using a Domain Name Service (DNS). When your friend’s SMTP server receives the e-mail, it sends your e-mail to its POP3 server, which adds it to your friend’s inbox.

To use e-mail а client computer needs an e-mail program to connect to a network server. The program can be stand-alone, e.g. Outlook Express, or Web-based, e.g. Yahoo. Stand-alone programs let you compose e-mail offline, but with Web-based programs you must be online.
E-mail uses two kinds of mail servers: an SMTP server, which deals with outgoing e-mail and a POP3 server, which deals with incoming e-mail. SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol; POP stands for Post Office Protocol.

The study of communication process has led to a new discipline, known as "communication theory". The human elements in any communication process are a message source, a message medium and a receiver. This simplest case might be one person talking to another. The person talking is the transmitter or message source, air is the separating message medium, and the listener is the receiver. To communicate, information of some sort must be transferred. "Information" in communication theory is defined as any organized signal. It can be a series of letters, a series of picture scanning elements, etc.

To communicate, information of some sort must be written.
Communication theory is not a discipline.
“Information” in communication theory is a sound.
If one person is talking to another, the message medium is air.

A communication system that does not allow an interchange between the message source and the receiver is said to be a one-way or "simplex" communication setup. One that does allow an interchange is a two-way or "duplex" setup. Noise is an important concept in communication theory. Noise is defined in communication theory as any signal that interferes with the message being sent and is an undesired disturbance in a communication system. Radio static is a form of noise. Dirt on a camera lens is noise also.

A communication system allows an interchange between two receivers.
Radio wave is a form of noise.
Dirt on a camera is static.
If there is dirt on a camera lens, it is also noise.

The study of electricity began with Dr. Gilbert who lived at about the same time as Galileo. In 1600 he wrote a book describing experiments on electricity and magnetism.
Russia played an important part in the development of electrical science. In spite of difficult conditions under which the scientists and inventors had to work in tsarist Russia they discovered electrical phenomena of great importance. In addition to that Russian scientists and inventors always tried to find practical application for the phenomena discovered.

Russian scientists didn’t develop electrical science.
The study of electricity began in the 18th century.
Lomonosov wrote a book describing experiments on electricity and magnetism.

Electricity is the power that has made possible the engineering progress of today. In fact, electricity has always been with a man, but only within the last few centuries he has learned to apply it.
One hundred years ago there were neither electric lamps, nor electric motors, nor telephone, nor radio. Now electricity is everywhere. We use electricity in our homes and in buildings where we work or study. Electric lamps light our rooms. The uses of electricity in our homes do not end with producing light. How many electric motors are working in our homes! Electric motors operate washing machines, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners, fans, clocks, and other electrical appliances.

There exist refrigerators without electric motors.
Computers operate washing machines.

Electricity plays a very important part both in industry and in agriculture. We use electricity as a means of transportation and communication. A primitive man depended upon fire, smoke or other kind of signals to send his thoughts to his neighbour. And a modern man can talk with someone in some distance. In recent years electricity has made a great contribution to radio communication between the spaceships and also between the austronauts and the Earth. In addition to that we apply electricity in automation and in research. Much of today's scientific research depends on the solution of different difficult mathematical problems, some of which would require days to solve by the used methods. Electrically-operated computers now give the answers to these problems in seconds.

Radio was invented in Russia. The world’s first receiver was constructed in 1895 by the great Russian scientist Alexander Popov. There were no transmitters then, therefore his receiver could only pick up signals produced by lightning discharges during a thunderstorm. A. Popov demonstrated a device called a “storm indicator” at a meeting of the Russian Physico-Chemical Society in St. Petersburg on May 7, 1895. This day is marked now as Radio Day.

The meeting was held at British mathematical Society in St. Petersburg.
The world’s first receiver was constructed in 1895 by Morse.
The device demonstrated by Popov was called a telephone.
At the end of the 19th century transmitters didn’t exist.

Alexander Popov found a way of transmitting Morse code signals. In 1897 he sent the world’s first wireless telegram over a distance of 600 m and four years later the range of transmission was increased to 150 km. Ever since, thanks to the work of many scientists of the world, the methods of transmission and reception have been constantly improved. Nowadays radio communication has no limits.

Teletypewriters are widely used for high speed telegraph communications as well as for transmission of written messages. For economical transmission over long distances it is essential that only a single wire or transmission channel be required to carry the signal. Furthermore, the reliable and efficient operation can be secured by using not more than two conditions on the line, such as current and no current, or positive impulses and negative impulses.

Efficient operation can be secured by using more than three conditions on the line.
For business transmission over long distances two transmission channels are used.
Teletypewriters are not used for long speed telegraph communications.
You can transmit written messages with the help of teletypewriters.

Electricity complete changed communications. Once it was discovered that аn electric current would flow along a wire, it seemed possible that it could be used for messages. As long as two places were connected by a wire electric currents could be sent along it. They could be sent with the speed of light. The question was how could electric current make words?

Electric currents flow along the circuit.
Electric currents changed information.
Electric current can be sent when two places aren’t connected by a wire.
The electric currents could be sent with the speed of light.
