Looks like you have a "Media Reader" installed.
Media Reader? in other words, a memory card reader. That's where you might have a slot somewhere to insert a type of card that typically would be found in most digital cameras.
The media reader might either be mounted on the front panel of your computer, or plugged into one of your USB ports.
Even if you don't have a digital camera, it is still very handly to have a Media reader, since those cards can then be used for convenient storage and transfering of files to other people. Using these memory cards is exactly like using those "USB Flash Drives" that are becoming popular. They have gobs more space than a floppy, and a memory card is LOTS FASTER!
The USB Flash Drives need a USB port, which is becoming standard on today's computers. And not only do you probably have that as well, but you have the ability to use just about any camera-memory card also, for the same storage purpose.
Pretty cool, right?
You guys been talkin' about partitions. When I go into my computer information (Windows XP) it reads:
Local Disk (Non-Partitioned)
Capacity: 111.79 Used: 6.67 Free: 105.11
I know what that means. But these other ones:
Local Disk (Non-Partitioned)
Generic USB Storage-CFC USB Device
Generic USB Storage-MMC USB Device
Generic USB Storage-MCS USB Device
Generic USB Storage-SMC USB Device
What does all that mean? And when you talk about partitions, do you set up a different partition on the same hard drive and then if something goes wrong you just switch partitions? Please don't get too technical. Joe six-pack.
