Hard Drive - Internal disk drive that contains the operating system and programs that you run from your local machine.
Highlight - This is the way to select files for move/deleting/copying/renaming. This can be done by clicking the mouse button, dragging it over the files you want to do something to and then letting off of the mouse button. You can also use shortcut keys to accomplish the same things; we will cover this in class.
