Administrative Shares

Administrative shares are hidden network shares.

To access them open package explorer and type in the url followed by the disk path, eg. test.com\c$.

Disk Volumes and Partitions

A volume or logical drive is a single accessible storage area with a single file system, typically resident on a single partition of a hard disk.

A partition or disk slicing is the creation of one or more regions within a hard disk or secondary storage so that the OD can manage the information in each region separately.
