haaah, makes me laugh whe I see what all tell you about.


On a computer the first two letters are reserved for floppy drives (a,b).


When you install an OS on a single drive, the OS gives this drive the letter C: by default, and unless you specify another drive letter, it does.


If another drive is present, a memory stick at installation, the stick will get drive C: since it is the only drive present with a file system and that asks to get a letter from the PC or OS. So, watch no pen-drives to be present when you install if you want the OS on C. Note that in NT based OS the OS can be just on any drive-letter.


Now, if no other hard drive is present the D: will be the CD-Rom drive from which you install. Now, every next drive you configure will take the next letter in the line, again, unless you attribute another free letter.


That's the way it works. If you machine has one C: drive and a D: drive, normaly the D: is the CD drive, again, unless you had changed his letter to something else.


All drive letters can be changed, also the C: but to do that you need some knowledge in the repair console to change the boot-sector to the new drive letter and for sure, you need an ERD disk to access the machine from outside.


So to answer your question, a machine with a c and d drive has obviously 2 drives installed. What the both are, you see it in your explorer or disk manager. It can be physical hard drives but do not need necessary to be any.


True or False?A computer system with a C drive and a D drive must has two physical hard drives.?
False. Drive letter can be both physical and logical / virtual.


- Drive can be partitioned, example, Drive 0 = C:, D: and E:


- SUBST assigns drive letter to folder, example, D: = C:\Data


- In XP Pro (not home) you can have a physical drive assigned to a subdirectory with Disk Manager, for example, Drive 0 = C:\, Drive 1 = C:\Data.






False - one hard drive with two partitions; or one hard drive and one media drive (DVD, CD,connected or internal memory reader, conected peripheral with a memory card reader or removable memory; etc.)
False, a drive can have two partitions that can carry seperate drive letters. It is also sometimes possible to mount network folders as and even disk image files as lettered drives in windows.
False. C is usually a hard drive, but a D is usually a CD drive.
FALSE


but if you replace the ';MUST'; in your question with ';CAN'; the answer is TRUE
False. They could be one drive with 2 partitions.
Not true.
