What is the T-Drive and how do I use it?

---

• Open My Computer


• Under Hard Disk Drives, you will see the C-Drive and the T-Drive. This is the way the hard drive on this computer is partitioned.


• Anything you save on the computer on the C-Drive will be automatically deleted whenever the machine is re-booted or at the end of the day, whichever comes first. This is done by a program called Deep-Freeze whose purpose is to keep the computer clear and uniform. The Desktop, My Documents etc… all exist on the C-Drive.


• The T-Drive does not erase at each re-boot and is a safer place to store your work. This still should not be considered a permanent place to store your work. It will provide an extra margin of safety in case of an unforseen problem such as a power outage.

To save work to the T-Drive

• Select "File" and "Save As" from the task bar


• This will open the T-Drive where you may create a folder for your work.


• Click "Save"
