Before hard disks became standard(1980), floppy disks were used for booting the computers.

These were available in two sizes at that time: 5 1/4 and 3 1/2?.

Those two floppy disk drives were labelled as Local Disk (A) and Local Disk (B).

After the invention of Hard disk, floppy disk of size 8 inch came into existence.

As a result , drives other than default drive (C) labelled as D, E etc.

DVD drive and USB drive are labelled as F, G and so on.

This is the answer of our question.
