Answer
A hard disk drive[ (hard disk ,hard drive,HDD) is a non-volatile storage device for digital data. It features one or more rotating rigid platters on a motor-driven spindle within a metal case. Data is encoded magnetically by read/write heads that float on a cushion of air above the platters, with modern storage capacity measured in gigabytes and terabytes.
Hard disk manufacturers quote disk capacity in SI-standard powers of 1000, wherein a terabyte is 1000 gigabytes and a gigabyte is 1000 megabytes. With file systems that measure capacity in powers of 1024, available space appears somewhat less than advertised capacity.
The first HDD was invented by IBM in 1956. They have fallen in size and cost over the years, displacing floppy disks in the late 1980s as the preferred long-term storage mechanism for personal computers. Most desktop systems today have standardized on the 3.5" form factor, and though mobile systems most often use 2.5" drives, both sizes operate on similar high-speed serial interfaces.

Can you use the hard drive from iMac G5 in a windows PC?
Emma
Can I take out the hard drive from an iMac G5 (a desktop, not laptop, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imac_G5) and use it in an ordinary windows PC desktop? If not, what modification do I need? Any info is welcome. Thanks.
Answer
It depends, the hard drive in the iMac is Serial ATA, and if there isn't a port for it on the main board of your Windows PC, it won't work. If your PC does have a Serial ATA port, then yeah it will work. Also, before the drive is usable, it will need to be formatted, as Windows cannot read the Mac File System that it will be in (HFS+).
