I was reading a DVD discussion forum, and I noticed people saying "Disc" and "Disk." Beyond the spelling, is there a difference between those two things? If so, what is it? Thanks!

The correct term is "dlsc" and should be used for hard discs, compact discs, DVD discs, etc. The only disc that is a "disk" is the floppy disk. This term "disk" became common as an shortened form of the proper description of a floppy (as introduced by IBM) as a "diskette".

When I see Disk, I think of a floppy Disk. But when I see a Disc, I think of a CD or DVD disc.

a disk is what you store information on. a disc is what's in your back.

Same thing.... the DISC version originated in Great Britain.
Means the same thing... just defferent spellings.
