WHY HARD DISK DRIVE NAME STARTS FROM C: NOT FROM A:

Have you ever thought while seeing your pc, why your hard disk drive partition name starts with C: not from A:, B: so on....
Today i thought about it and wanted to searh the answer of my question and i found it which i want to share it with you my friend...

REASON:-

Yes, there is a reason behind it..The Operating System allocates letter A for "FLOPPY DRIVE" and letter B for "Second FLOPPY DRIVE"...
The next letter C is left and reserved for hard drives... Similarly D:, E: and so on are used for naming other partition of hard drive...


Floppy Disk was invented before the hard drive and earlier Operating System were installed in Floppy Disk...So letter A was allocated to Floppy Disk..
Whenever your PC is switched on, the floppy disk are first checked and then hard disk are checked...
It can bee seen as the indicator of Floppy disk glows first when we switch on our PC...

In short i want to summarise the above discussions below...
A: drive is used for floppy disk of size 3.5 inches, storage capacity is 1.44MB.
B: drive is used for floppy disk of size 5.25 inches, storage capacity is 1.2.
C: and remaining drives are created of Hard disk.

Hope you got the answer that you were searching for many days....
