whats the diffrence between c and d drive because d drive has most of the freee spAce?

Question

but i tried to put my sims 2 into the d drive and it didnt function properley

Answer 1

The drive letters are assigned by the person who set up the machine. They are specific to your machine. Each physical drive you have on your machine needs a letter assigned to it. It sounds like your c and d drives are both hard drives. You can also have floppy drives, dvd drives, etc. If your D drive has more space, you should save things there.

Answer 2

It all depends on how your computer is setup, but typically your C: drive is your primary harddrive that contains your operating system software. Your computer will automatically look to the C: drive whenever it starts up.

As for your D: drive, that all depends. It could be a partition of your C: drive; it could be a second physical harddrive. Regardless, you should be fine storing files and even installing software to your D: drive.

(I'm assuming your D: drive is NOT some sort of removable storage drive, like a cd, dvd, usb, or zip drive.)

Answer 3

C and D drives are created when you create partitions at the time of installation of your operating system. Usually the operating system itself is installed in the C drive; most softwares also are installed in the C drive by default. It's absolutely your choice at the time of creating partitions as to what size which drive will be.

Answer 4

Copy the My Documents folder to your D drive. Then right-click on the My Documents icon, then chose properties, you can tell the computer, that the folder is on a different drive.

Answer 5

normally the C:\ is where your Operating system is installed and where you should install your programs...

the latter is recomended because, should you remove the D:\ drive, there will be less problems for the system on you computer...(because of all the sudden 'missing program files')

any other files can be kept on a diferent Hard drive than your systems...
