arrow.
You can organize your files and programs to suit your preferences much like you
would store information in a file cabinet. You can store these files in folders and
copy, move, and delete the information just as you would reorganize and throw
away information in a file cabinet.
Drives are like file cabinets because they hold files and folders. A computer
usually has more than one drive. Each drive has a letter, usually Local Disk (C:)
for the hard drive and 3½ Floppy (A:) for the diskette drive. You may also have
additional drives, such as CD or DVD drives.
To view the drives on your computer:
Click Start, then click My Computer on the Start menu.
