Logical Partitioning

A single Hard Disk MAY be partitioned into many 'Logical' Drives, enabling better management of your program and data files.
Each Drive may be thought of as a File Cabinet.

Directories and Sub-directories

Just as we may have multiple draws in the file cabinet, we can have several "DIRECTORIES" or folders on each drive.
Each Draw may hold many documents, or on the computer , each drive may contain many files.
Further, each draw may have dividers.
These dividers may have documents placed inside (and even more folders).

Graphically;

C:\
| \DOS
| |\WIN.EXE
| | :
| \WINDOWS
| |:
| \DATA
| | MYFILE.DAT
