Drive/Partition

A drive is a reserved area of the hard disk. Multiple drives can be found on a hard disk. In the following text, the term “drive” will be used to depict (single) partitions as well as logical drives in extended partitions and volumes.

Drives are used, for example, to separate documents from programs. A division in two partitions has become generally
accepted:

  • Drive C: for operating systems and programs
  • Drive D: for documents, e.g. photos, Office documents, music, etc.

This makes it easier to image data using data imaging products such as O&O DiskImage.
