Drive letter

IBM compatible single alphabetic character A through Z that has been assigned to a physical drive or drive partition in the computer. For example, a computer with a 3 1/2" floppy diskette drive will have a drive letter of A: assigned to the drive. All computers with a hard disk drive will always have that default hard drive assigned to a C: drive letter.
