need information on the difference between hard disk drives and verticle disk drives of the personal computer?

Answer 1

Whats a vertical disk drive????

Do you maybe mean VIRTUAL hard drive? That is a section of memory which is used by some programs as if it was a hard drive, but as soon as you end the program, the "hard drive" goes away and everything on it is lost.

So a virtual drive is memory used like a hard drive temporarily, while a "real" hard drive is a piece of hardware used for permanent storage of programs and data.

Some recovery programs use virtual hard drives because you would not be running a recovery program unless your real hardware hard drive was not working. So they use computer memory to make a "fake" or "virtual" hard drive to run programs to repair the real hardware hard drive.

Virtual drives are also used by some programs that make your PC act like it is a different kind of computer, such as a Linux box. It creates a "fake" Linux drive in memory, runs Linux programs, and then is gone, with all its data, when you leave the program or turn off the PC.
