Why computer has not B drive?
The A: and B: drives on a desktop computer are reserved in the BIOS for floppy disk drives. As most computers only come with one floppy disk drive only the A: drive will be visible in file explorer. If a second floppy disk drive is fitted then both A: and B: drives will be visible. Computers used to have a B: drive. It was the second floppy drive. Since people no longer copy from one floppy to another, the B: drive (and on some newer models the A: drive) has become obsolete.
What was the only method of sharing files between computer before networks were invented?
Before networks were invented, the only method of sharing files between computers was through physical media such as floppy disks, CDs, or USB drives. Users would copy the files onto the physical media and physically transfer it to the other computer in order to share or transfer the files.
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.

IDE data cable?
This is a data ribbon cable is used for computer drives, like hard disk drives, Optical disk drives, and floppy disk drives. They are also referred to as PATA cables. They connect to parallel ports consisting of 20 pins in one row, and 19 in the second, for a total of 39 pins. IDE cables are now considered old, having been largely replaced by SATA cables, which connect to newer drives which run at more RPM.

Differentiate between a floppy drive cable and an IDE type cable?
A floppy drive cable is typically a narrow, flat ribbon cable with a 34-pin connector, designed specifically for connecting floppy disk drives to a motherboard. In contrast, an IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) cable is wider, usually 40 or 80 pins, and supports larger data transfer rates for hard drives and CD-ROM drives. IDE cables often have a distinctive connector with a keying mechanism to prevent incorrect insertion, and they can support multiple devices on the same cable, whereas floppy cables usually connect only one drive. Additionally, IDE cables may have a second connector to allow for a master/slave configuration, while floppy cables do not have this feature.
