2.) Other ways to identify which hard drives and drives and path it is!
Hard drives and drives on a computer are typically identified by letters and paths in the file system. To discover disks, drives and paths on a Windows operating system:
Detect hard drives and drives:
►► Show SSD, HD USB drives Windows 11, 10, 8.1?
Recognize Paths:
A path is the specific address to a folder or file in a file system.
For example, "C:\Users\username\Documents" is a path to the user's Documents folder on the C disk.
On Windows, the path is usually separated by backslashes "" and often begins with the drive letter followed by the directory names. Example: "C:\Folder\Subfolder\File.txt".
Show path in File Explorer:
To view the path of a specific folder or file in File Explorer, simply right-click the item and select "Properties". On the "General" tab you will see the path under "Storage Location".
►► Enable the full path in the Explorer title bar in Windows 10/11?
Show path on command line:
You can also use Command Prompt or PowerShell to view paths. Use the "cd" (Change Directory) command to change to a directory and "cd .." to change to the parent directory. Just type "cd" without arguments to see the current path.
►► Check whether a file path exists using the command line?
Note that other operating systems such as macOS or Linux use similar concepts to view and manage disks, drives and paths.
