\"Hard Disk\' is translated as “硬盘” in Chinese. \"Floppy Disk\" is translated as “磁盘”in Chinese, which can be inserted into the slot of the floppy disk drive to read and write data. Nowadays, 3.5\" floppy disks are widely used.

(The pinyin for “磁盘”is ci2pan2.)

I agree with Li-chuan. \"Floppy disk\"and \"diskette\" are both correct.

Definitely, “磁盘”≠ Hard Disk. This is the common sense known by almost all the kindergarten kids in China.

Since this summer is pleasantly cool, let\'s enjoy reading the following Computer ABC together with our dear Russian friend.

愿在这凉爽的夏日与俄罗斯友人共享以下电脑入门知识！(in Chinese)

不知大家注意到没有，当高手们为我们修理机器时，常常会从随身携带的包中取出磁盘(Floppy Disk,同\"软盘\" )、光盘放入软驱或光驱中，然后再输入一些神秘的“咒语”，一阵捣腾后，你的机器就“苏醒”了。你很好奇——那些软盘、光盘里到底有什么？我能不能拥有一份？高手们说：“这些软盘光盘是救机必备工具”。如果你也想制作一份，不妨跟着下面的文章操作。
常用的救机必备工具包括系统启动盘、救命盘以及硬件信息测试工具。

Windows 98启动软盘FD(磁盘)的制作
在Windows 98的控制面板中，双击“添加删除程序”，选择“启动盘” 标签，然后单击“创建启动盘”。

Windows 2000启动软盘(FD)的制作
运行Windows 2000安装光盘上Bootdisk文件夹中的Makeboot.exe，系统会提示你依次放入四张软盘来完成整个启动软盘的制作，我们推荐大家制作一张单张的Windows 2000启动盘，具体操作方法请看2001年第22期步步高栏目的《制作Windows 2000启动盘“迷你版”》一文。

CONCLUSION :
\"磁盘\"也称\"软盘\"，通常译为\"Floppy Disk\"，也可译为\"Diskette\".

Explanation:
Below are some examples how 磁盘 can be used in the hard disk ( or simply - disk) meaning, not automatically referring to the floppy disk ( diskette)

I am just wondering - is it advisable to translate it according to the context? (sometime as floppy, and some time as hard disk, and some time as disk)

过去十几年来,CPU的处理速度增加了五十倍有多,内存(memory)的存取速度亦大
幅增加,而数据储存装置--主要是磁盘(hard disk)--的存取速度只增加了三、四倍,形
成电脑系统的瓶颈,拉低了电脑系统的整体性能(through put),若不能有效的提升磁盘
的存取速度,CPU、内存及磁盘间的不平衡将使CPU及内存的改进形成浪费

磁盘是PC机的外部存储器之一，分为硬盘和软盘两种。二者的共同之处在于都是使用磁介质来储存数据，所以叫"磁盘"。想要让PC机使用磁盘，必须将磁盘放置在特殊的装置中，也就是磁盘驱动器里。

　
1.SCANDISK磁盘扫描程序是解决硬盘逻辑坏道最常用的手段，而我们常见的FORMAT命令不能对任何硬盘坏道起到修补作用，这点大家需明白

BBW,linguist\'s research is very impressive, still I doubt that in a phrase above 磁盘是PC机的外部存储器之一，分为硬盘和软盘两种
\"磁盘\"should be translated either as floppy disk or diskette.
