Part Nine of Ten:
Drive Management
Today, in part 9 of our 10 part series on switching from the PC to the Mac, we’ll look at Drive Management.
Now the Mac handles hard drives and even directories quite differently than they are of the PC. For example there’s no drive C on a Mac. And instead you can name your hard drives.
Now here is a Windows Vista Virtual Machine. You can say here is drive C and then every PC since there have been PCs there’s always a drive C, there has to be a drive C and drive C can't be changed to any other Drive letter. That’s not true on a Mac, on the Mac, my primary hard drive and the boot drive is called Mackintosh HD. But I can actually rename it to anything I want.
You can also see that here, I have attached a couple of external drives and because of my own background in PC, I can name them Mac E and Mac F. But I actually could name them anything I wanted. They also note that over here there is an eject button for these external drives that are connected.
That’s because on the Mac it’s important that you properly eject a drive before you physically disconnect it from the computer. Same is also true of a CD or a DVD that’s in the drive, which you can right click on and select eject or you can press the eject button that’s on the keyboard.
Over here under places, you can see that there folders that I’ve put there so that they can be easily access by me, like my editorial folder and here are articles there that I wanted to access.
So this is how drives are handled on the Mac and that concludes part 9.
