Unlike Windows, Linux has a unified file system.
In Windows, all paths start with a drive letter, like C:
( C:\Users\Joe\Documents\readme.txt )
A flash drive may mount as F:, and a CD may mount as E:.
In Linux, there are no drive letters, and all paths begin from the root directory (/)
( /home/joe/readme.txt )
Storage devices will instead mount to folders. A flash drive may mount to
/media/Lexar
