What's wrong with it being your main hard disk?
- voussoir 5y agoGP's point was that the flash drive, which is not the hard disk, is mapped to a filepath under /, which is the hard disk. The pathing seems to imply that the flash drive is inside the hard disk, whereas on Windows they have distinct roots. GP suggests that / should instead refer to an imaginary place under which both the flash drive and hard disk reside.
