The next drive added to the system, such as a new USB drive, will be assigned the next available drive letter. If your computer has a secondary hard drive, the primary (first) hard drive (drive C) contains the operating system, software, drivers, and Documents folder. The secondary (second) hard drive can be used as an extra filing cabinet. Use it to store your personal files, including large music, multimedia, or graphics files. Or use the secondary hard drive to back up your working files from the primary hard drive. NOTE: Windows® includes the User Account Control feature to improve the security of your computer.
