INFORMATION PLEASE

[Mickey Mouse]

I want to learn and understand the ins and outs of hard drives. How to
install and set them up.
For too long I've heard about 'Logical drives, partitions, mbr's, primary,
secondary etc etc ect...
and I (more or less) don't have a clue what they mean. Maybe learning the
ins and outs is a bit over the top, I'd even settle for a basic
understanding.

Somebody please give me a link or perhaps suggest a book written in plain
easy to understand English.

Maybe try Google 'HDD how they work' may bring you even more result
