[dba-Tech] C & D Partitions

Lately I've seen the D: partition holding the restore stuff - IOW, you can
restore your machine to its out of the box .
condition with the stuff that's on D:.  Like you used to do with the restore
disks that came with every machine.

I believe that the software would also go into the C: drive in this
scenario. D: would be for user data  The main advantage would be from an
ease of backup perspective. You back up the D drive where your data is
stored frequently. You don't need to back up the C drive since you have the
original software distribution media.
