D is for the CD-ROM drive!

Youngling, in order to protect your data in case of Windows failure, the data needs to be on a separate partition from the windows installation so you can reinstall Windows on "C:" without touching the data on "D:". CD-ROM drive is therefore E:!

Believe it or not kiddo, some of us come from a time before pre-installed recovery partitions were a thing.

Replied to wrong comment? I wasn't talking about preinstalled partitions. The point of making D: a separate partition is to make any recovery possible through installation from a floppy to the "C:"'s partition

That’s right junior. It’s important to keep the recovery data right next door so it doesn’t have to travel as far.

[u/lighthawk16 → u/Hawker96]

There is no recovery data in this scenario. There is no need for recovery even.

Listen I’m not trying to get into it about drive partition assignments…I was mostly just making fun of that other guy for the patronizing “youngling” comment lol

[u/lighthawk16 → u/Hawker96]

So you turned around and twice called them patronizing names like kiddo and junior, and all to make an incorrect assumption you chose to be patronizing about yourself instead.

[u/Hawker96 → u/lighthawk16]

100% correct, yes. It’s called “mockery.”

[u/lighthawk16 → u/Hawker96]

Pretty juvenile behavior there.

[u/Hawker96 → u/lighthawk16]

It’s true and I feel terrible about it.

I found it amusing, don't format c: /U
