Using the Hard Disk Drive
You can create and revise files on a hard disk just as you can
on a diskette. The hard disk, however, provides several
advantages:
The 20MB hard disk can store more data than 16
x
1.2MB
diskettes and the 4OMB hard disk can store twice as much.
Your computer can perform all disk-related operations faster.
You can store all your frequently used programs and data
files on the hard disk, eliminating the inconvenience of
inserting and removing diskettes to access different files.
The added storage capacity makes it easy to move back and
forth between different programs and data files. However,
because it is so easy to add programs and files to your hard disk,
you may find yourself trying to organize hundreds of files.
MS-DOS lets you keep related files together in directories and
subdirectories so they are easier to find and use.
