    How do you calculate HD size if I know the number of cylinders, the number of heads and the number of sectors.

    I.E.

    heads=16
    sectors=63
    Hard Drive size = 1080 mb

    Number of Cylinders
    x Number of Heads
    x Sectors per Track
    x 512 Bytes per Sector
    = Total capacity (in Bytes)
