Computers organize long term storage of information into what’s called a “file system”. A file system usually resides on a “hard drive” or “solid state drive”, but they also exist on floppy drives, CD and DVD ROM drives, and flash drives. Through the process of “partitioning”, a single physical drive can contain multiple logical drives.

The slides below were from the October 6, 2022 MMCC meeting where we demonstrated an older Compaq Presario 2200 (donated by one of our members) running both Windows XP and a new version of Puppy Linux on separate partitions.
