Why in the Computer C disk is used more than the D disk?
Answers:
your C drive is where your operating system is put on, and your programs,
if you have Norton ghost you could take an image of this drive , with all your programs installed,
and you should use your D drive to store your data on ,
if you have done an image of your C drive,
and then after things go wrong.with you operating system .
you can install the image back on to your C drive. and it will put it back with all the programs that was installed when you made the image.
and it will not affect your data that you have saved on the D drvehope this is of some use to you alec
Thje C: drive is usually the hard drive. If you have a partitioned drive then the next drive letter is D:. Usually you next drive is the CD ROM and it could be a drive D: or E:
1. If your HDD is divided into more than one partition, the the reason is operating system is installed on your C: drive by default all programs (operating system, office suit, graphic softwares, etc) are installed in C:, and by habit, people (may be incluing U) tend to save files on C:, but not D.
2. If your HDD has only partition which is C, then the reason is the same as above (the D: will be CD/DVD drive)
The C disk is where your Windows directory is stored, every time you do something like boot up the computer about 20 MB are either written or read. You really change how much usage there is. The D disk is a secondary drive, and only if you have system restore enabled, which is included in Windows XP will it use the D disk more.
you can change this behaviour as you wish. Do not save files in my documents but in d: drive. also regularly empty your temp folder and delete internet temp files.
Have a nice day.
drive C is your default drive, everytime you save, download or install a file/program it will surely go to drive C unless you change the destination before you save/download/install.
'Cause in the beginning "C" was the only HDD. The boot-up had a and b as default floppy drives, and "C" was the next available letter to use for the HDD. Since then computers have used "C" as the default boot drive, and any additional drives get assigned sequentially. Since software makers have to install software in a HDD location, they default to the "C". But during installation, you can usually choose any location to install.
Once we got 2 slot on your computer which can read two types of disk(the primal ones which have small spaces),and they are called A and B disk,so when the hard disk we are using now came,we call it C disk,if you have more partitions,there comes D,E,F...As A and B are used any more,C became the first disk which most useful software are installed as a practice
let me put it in a simple way c drive is your main drive and d drive is somewhat like backup drive
Because that's where by default the programs are stored and any data files unless you specify otherwise. To keep the computer running as fast as possible, I always keep all programs on the C drive, but all my data files are stored on memory sticks (backed up onto CDs) and also backed up onto another main computer. I know some people will think this is strange, but I am an IT tutor, using lots of different computers as well as several of my own, and I find it easier to save directly onto memory sticks and then back up onto other computers, but my main computer at home is kept relatively free of data.
