When we have multiple hard drives, multiple hard drive partitions, and external hard drives hooked up to our Windows computers, each appears in Windows Explorer and in most programs as a “drive” and is assigned a letter — like C:, D:, E:, etc.
When you add an internal drive that is already formatted (maybe it came from your old computer) into an existing PC, you can see each partition on it (at least those partitions that are formatted in ways that Windows can recognize) as a drive with its own letter.
When we buy a complete external drive, it is ready to use — it has already been formatted and Windows recognizes it immediately.
But, what if we want any of these drives to be accessable by another computer on our home network? That’s when we have to use the features of Windows File and Printer Sharing.
