No, a hard disk drive is not a part of the motherboard. The mother board is the actual processing unit of the cpu. It performs all the operations and calculations etc while the hard disk is the memory storage unit of the computer. The hard disk is where all the pictures, file, movies, documents etc. are stored in the computer. These files are of course accessed by the motherboard as nothing can happen without the motherboard!

Where is hard disk on mother board?

a hard disk is a disk inside the hard drive that stores information. A computer's hard disk, or hard drive, is not a part of or mounted on the motherboard, or any of the computer's circuit boards. The drive is installed into some part of the frame within the computer. Its location is not important, because the user does not have to physically access the drive. The hard drive does, however, have a data connection to the motherboard, over which information is transferred to and from the drive.

How do you simply disable your virtual drive on your CD ROM?

A Compact Disk Read Only Memory disk cannot be used as a virtual memory, because it is a read-only memory format. Virtual Disk is a method of using the Random Access Memory on the motherboard to simulate a Random Access disk drive, but with much faster access times than is possible for a peripheral device. (One which is not on the motherboard.) Windows uses a virtual memory routine to set aside part of the hard disk drive for additional storage in case the onboard RAM becomes too full to allow rapid processing. Data which is not being manipulated immediately is moved to this section of the hard disk, and then moved back when the processor is ready for it. This allows faster multitasking when using a machine with a small amount of onboard RAM.
