Historically, when PC came out about 20 years ago, there was no hard drive. You used two floppy drives: A and B. When they started to put hard drives in, the hard drives were lettered C and above.
Intereestingly, if you had a big hard drive back then, say 40 mb, you had to partition the drive into C and D, because DOS could not handle more than 20 mb. (Its been awhile, so i may be off on the mbs, but they were small compared to todays standards, so you had to do a lot of partitioning.)
Yeah, I installed Windows 3.1 and PC DOS onto VirtualPC, it was amazing how it thought 2GB was huge, luckily it didn't show all 400GB I have as available
