If you have been using computer long enough you might know why?
Remember the good old day we use Floppy disk, And we call it Drive A? Yeah A: drive is reserve for Floppy disk, even though we are now far from going back to the stone age technology.

And what is B drive is for?
Turned out, 1 Floppy drive is sometime not enough in the old time. A lot of office people need to copy from disk to disk, or used two types of Floppy disk.
Wait a sec. there are more than 1 type of Floppy disk?
Well, I know 2 of them: 5.25 inch and 3.5 inch. The bigger the size the smaller the storage :D logic isn't it?
The icon of 3.5 inch disk is the SAVE icon that we all know.

Here is the Algorithm to assign drive letter:
If you still have an old computer that has Floppy drive and disk, try insert the floppy disk and then turn that computer on.
Most of the time your computer won't start to window, and stuck in DOS.
- Assign A: to the 1st Floppy drive
- Assign B: to the 2nd Floppy drive
- Assign next letter after B. So it is C: to primary physical hard drive
- blah blah

Solution is eject the Floppy disk out and press Enter.
