Hard drive broken down

[24giovanni]

Can someone please explain to me how a hard drive is broken down in regards to cylinders, heads, sectors and tracks. I appreciate it.

TIA

Have look at this. http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/geom/tracks.htm

Or start at the beginning of hard drives. http://www.pcguide.com/ref/hdd/index.htm

That will get you started. :)
