For example, there's an a: drive, c: drive, e: drive, etc.  What about b: drive, j: drive, ...  Does each of them mean something?  Is there such thing as a z: drive.  Does each of them require a special disk?

Way back in the beginning of PC time, before Microsoft, before  Visicalc, before the IBM PC, there was an operating system for microcomputers called CP/M (Control Program for Microcomputers). These early PC's only had floppy disk drives (this was before the 'Fisher Price' diskettes we know today, and I know I'm skipping past the tape recorder era), and hard drives for PC's didn't exist. The designers of CP/M wanted an operating system average people could use and needed a way to reference the different floppy drives and chose to use the alphabet as a good way to point to specific drives.  So, the first drive was 'A:', the second was 'B:', and so on (the colon was the separator from the drive designation and filename).  When the first hard drives for PC's became available, it was typical for PC's to come with two floppy drives, therefore the typical and now default reference for the first hard drive became 'C:'.

I don't think so. I am not an expert on PCs, but I know that everything is STORED on the C: Drive. The D: Drive is something else..it MAY be a CD drive, it may be the appliations...not sure. But I am 95% sure that you can not store thiungs on the C: Drive.

CD RW has functions like USB. THat means you can add and replace data on the disk, which CD R cannot do. \nCD RW is convenient when you need to write temporary data, that need to be changed several times before publishing. That means you don't have to buy a stack of CD R to write each time you make a change to your data on the disk. Instead you just need one CDRW.

There is no problem in using two different disks/drives/partitions having different file systems.  The data copied from one type of disk is copied in the other disk in the system in which the disk has been formatted.

If you already have a computer you can hook it up to, simply install the drive, boot into windows. Once there:\n\nStart -> Right click "my computer" then go to Manage. -> Left side, under Storage, click "Disk Management" -> Right side, you should see multiple hard drives listed. It probably won't have a volumne label or anything (but if it does, just make sure you're not formatting your windows [C:&#92;] drive). Once you've figured out what drive it is, right click it and then left click format. Choose the format type and boom. Done. :)

i dont know if it exists. But its name name means that it is a read/write. CD-ROM is read only.

Thanks for answering my Vista question:\n\nMan, I just checked, there are a lot, so I counted them instead of typing all the names here - There are 78 files that start with the letter A.  There are no folders that start with the letter A.\n\nHope it helps.

New HP with XP OEM has a D drive, this is your Windows Installation and Backup. C: is Primary Partition with OS files on it and stuff you download and install or just use. D: is the common Recovery Drive, you will see at Boot Boot? Restore? that restore is D:, it is why new PCs do not come with a physical Install Disk of Windows. Its a kinda neato idea, I am trashing XP for Linux, but still playing with winders now. I will leave D: on the partition just in case of a critical failure. \nBut that is the way Windows tells them to do it now, if you dont ask for an Install Disk, you dont get one, and you actually dont need one because that is Drive D:.

I couldn't find any English assistance when I did a search on the file in Google, and the file is not on my PC. What is your F:&#92; drive though.  maybe that will give us some insight.

If you're talking about zip files, they are compressed files.\nYou use a compressor program to pack several files into a one smaller file.

Yes, this denotes the speed that the disk will read/write at.  The number (n)x is how many times faster than normal playback speed.  The higher the number, the faster disks will burn for you.  When possible, go with the higher number.  \n\nI would recommend getting a DVD burner because it will allow you to burn both CDs and DVDs.  Also, when purchasing a DVD burner, look for one that supports DVD+/-r (two different DVD media formats) and Dual Layer (another DVD format that allows you to fit double the amount of data on 1 disk)

i thought it was unless until a few months ago when my pc got infected by a stupid worm. if u split ur hard drive, u can format one (the system hard drive) and then transfer everything into the other hard drive without having any of the things uve transfered gone. with only 1 hard drive, format the pc and all ur songs/videos/docs will be gone. \n\ni learnt that from the lab technician.

The correct name for it is not drive Z but Zdrive, The call this the distribution drive.  Let me explain to you how it works. Say for example that your computer is connected to a server along with other person. There will be a common drive between all of you called the "Z Drive" Any information that you do on this drive will be viewable every one connected to that same server, as well as what they do you can also view it. Even though they can view your stuff and you view theirs.  Either you are them can put pass words to what ever file they want if they had originally created it. hence you would only be able to look at it but not edit it. You said that it was in you recycle bin, What is giving me problem is that your bin should be on your desk top, not on the "drive, and only you can send file to the bin and only you can delete them if you want or restore them. No one else, unless someone used your computer, or you accidentally deleted it. Is it that you are miss under standing  what you saw. Because in the bin if you had a file and deleted it, when you open the recycle bin it should be telling you that the file has been deleted, but not from the bin but from the original location.\n\nThose folders are probably the original names of whatever info was deleted, Why  don't you tell me the name of the folders, and I'll see if I can be of more assistance.

[i]  = I\n[d]s = does (without the s it would be do)\n[t]  = to or the\n[o] = of\n\nAnyway I think all the [ ] are suppose to be abbreviations and these are the most likely.◘
