Though you may be using computers but some of you may not be aware of some hidden facts. If you are using computers daily so here is one simple question for you.
" Do you know why 'C' is the default hard dis drive and not 'A' or 'B'?
Here is the answer:

These two floppy disk drives were labelled as Local Disk (A) and Local Disk (B). After the invention of Hard disk , floppy disk of size 8 inch came to existence.Presently Floppy Disk drives and Hard disk drives replace floppy disks.
