I'm old enough to remember what ABCD means!
A: Floppy Drive
B: Second Floppy Drive for floppy-to-floppy copy
C: Hard Drive
D: Optical Drive
In my time disk space was smaller than the addressing system which means partitions weren't warranted, whippersnapper!

in reply to Hypolite Petovan • • •D: being the optical drive was so hard for me to get used to (and i'm still not) because i'd learned to keep my data in a separate hard drive from my windows install long before we ever got one of those fancy schmancy "CD-ROM drives"
by the time i was regularly using a windows machine that only had one hard drive again optical drives were falling out of use...
