The Hard Drive & Floppy Drive

In your computer there are different drives: the hard drive, the floppy drive and the compact disk drive.

The hard drive, also called the C: drive, is used for storing all your applications and files. The floppy drive, or A: drive, is used when you insert a floppy disk to store files that you want to transport or create a back up.

To select the hard drive or floppy drive for file management you can go to either Windows Explorer in programs or to My Computer on the desktop.

In Windows Explorer select the hard or floppy drive.
