DVDs do not have partitions. They simply are one big partition that takes up the full back layer of the DVD. On the other hand, flash drives are able to make more than one partition because they are higher in capacity and partitions can be made in a flash drive's nand

Do we have partitions in a USB floppy disk and CD ROM?
There are no partitions in flash memory that is used in USB port or floppy drives. Usually windows will not allow you to partition these. A CD-rw, which is a CD that can be erased and re-written, can not be partitioned. These can not be partitioned in a sense that they will create two separate drive letters. There is some software made that will partition a flash drive, but it might void the warranty unless it is allowed by the MFG.
What do the drive letters A C and D typically represent?
A: is the first floppy drive and is seldom in use today. C: is most often the first master hard drive partition. D: is most commonly the CD Rom in a system with a single hard drive partition.
How do you know which drive is the floppy drive?
Typically, the A drive is the floppy drive; the C drive is the hard drive; and the D drive is the CD drive.
Do all PCs have a d drive?
No. A computer can have any number of drives. A: and B: are reserved for floppy drives, and C: is reserved for the first hard drive partition. The rest of the letters can be assigned to anything. D is usually given to either a second partition on the hard drive, or a CD/DVD drive. However, some computers, such as netbooks, may only have one partition on the drive and not have a CD or DVD drive. If you were to plug in a drive, such as a USB Flash drive or external hard drive, then it would become drive D:.

How are drives identified on a Windows-based computer?
The first two floppy drives, if present, are A: and B:. Then, the first active partition on the first hard drive is C: If there is a second physical hard drive, it would be D: ... additional partitions on the hard drives, if active, would get letters after that. The optical drive is normally lettered after the last hard drive partition. So, if you have a computer with 1 floppy, one hard drive with a single partition, and a CD Rom drive, the floppy would be A:, the hard drive would be C:, and the CDRom would be D: In more recent operating systems, however, you can re-arrange drive letters using the storage management tool; but the above is the "normal" arrangement.

Data can be copied to CDs (Compact Discs) which are writable/rewritable and need a CD/DVD burner to write data. The difference between a floppy and CD is that floppy is a magnetics media and CD an optical media (read/write happens with help of a laser light). - Neeraj Sharma
Why hard drive labeled letter c and not letter a or letter b?
Before bootable CD drives came along, floppy drives were provided with letters A and B. Now, either the bootable CD or floppy may take A. The next sequential letter is C. This is usually the first active, primary partition found on a hard drive. Its also dependent on the active/primary/logical partition hierarchy scheme system. Its possible to boot from floppy or CD, and a logical partition may take drive letter C, if no primary partitions exist for instance. Originally, PCs had no hard drives. They ran on big oversize floppies. B designation came later, and was commonly used as a data diskette. The hard drive came along, and logically, its partition took the letter C. A cd drive can take the letter C, if no detectible hard drive partition exists. Designating a latter letter for the cd drive with driver modifier is the typical solution used. This is only seen with floppy boot media like a 98 startup diskette for instance. The former can be seen, under the right conditions, with a simple boot diskette. Magneto floppies (if not bootable), pen drives, CD/DVD and so forth follow a letter hierarchy specific to windows. And in some cases, can be modified by the user. With the advent of XP, even more latitude is provided for drive letter changes by the user.
