I am asking this question very generally.
When Windows boot up, it can automatically tell what are the Drives A, B, C, or E and F. How does it know? How does it know those are drives? And how does it know what type of drives are these?
Likewise, when you insert a USB drive into the system, it will automatically know it is a drive and not something else, like a printer or modem.
What cause Windows to know them as drives and not something else? Likewise, how does Windows know what is a modem or keyboard or printer, etc?
How does Windows also know where they are inserted?
Sorry if my questions don't sound too clear. Kind of confused myself.
