Computer questions?

Question

A drive = where is it, local or network

whats the drive name

same questions for c drive, d drive, and h drive, and what are they used for

Answer 1

Agent,

A on your computer
C on your computer
D Up to Windows could be hard drive, DVD, CD drive internal or external
H Same as D

Windows assigns alpha characters to the drives on your system.

A is always a floppy on your computer, C is always the hard drive where you put your operating system. Then if you have additional hard drives they will be assigned alpha characters in order. Then any external drives will be assigned letters.

Answer 2

A drive normally refers to a local drive. Your computer assigns letters to the different logical drives. A drive can be a floppy drive, usually designated by A or B if you have two floppy drives,
The C drive often means your first hard drive.
The D drive usually means your second hard drive, or that your hard drive was partitioned, that is, divided, to C and D segments.
The hard drive is normally used to store information for retrieval.
The H drive can be several things, such as a USB drive (also known as a jump drive). A jump drive holds information, and is about the size of a cigarette lighter, that you can plug into a USB port to store or retrive information.
If your computer has things like Zip drives, card readers etc, they are also assigned a letter.

Answer 3

That differs depending on your machine. You can usually find them under the "my computer" menu (assuming you're using a Windows system). If you right click a drive, and select "rename" you can name them whatever you like. The C drive is usually your hard drive (where all your files are stored), and the D drive is usually (but not always) a disk drive, for cds, dvds, or floppy disks.

Hope that helps!

Answer 4

the A drive is the floppy disc drive when fitted, C drive is your main hard drive, D drive is usually your cd/dvd drive and H could be an extra such as a card reader, note- most computers nowadays do not have a floppy drive fitted when new but the letter asignation must be there incase you fit one yourself such as I have done
