1 Your Home Drive OR the H Drive

Access your home drive

  • Once you logged in using your BGS login ID and password, it is time to get to know your own space, the home drive (H drive) on your school computer.
  • Your home drive is your own private disk space for you to save all your work for Computer Science and Design Engineering, maybe for other subjects if you wish.
  • It is very important to organise your work in your home drive so you know how to access them quickly.
  • Your home drive can be accessed by one of the following ways:
    1. from the File explorer on the task bar, click the icon the red arrow is pointing fileExplorer.png
    2. Once you open the File explorer, you should see something like the image shown below. Double click on the drive with your username (BGS login ID) on it to open your home drive.

Organise your work in your home drive

Create folders for subjects

  • The best way to organise your work while you are at BGS is to use folders.
  • For example, you may create a folder with the name "Computer Science" and inside this folder you can then add more folders for each year.
  • Lets create some folders by following the step-by-step instructions below:
    1. Step 1: open File explorer, then click on the circled places shown below newFolder.png
    2. Step 2: Rename your folder from the default "New folder" to "Computer Science" by clicking on it once then replace it with a new name, then hit enter newFolder2.png
    3. Double click on the new "Computer Science" folder to go into it. Then repeat the step 1&2 to create a folder called "Year 7" inside the "Computer Science" folder.
    4. Repeat the above step to create another folder called "Design Engineering"
    5. Try to come back to your home drive by clicking on the "This PC" on the left pane of the File explorer and see if you can navigate to the "Design Engineering" folder you have created and go inside it to also create a "Year 7" folder.`

Badge it

  • Create a folder called Into to PC inside your Computer Science folder in your home drive
  • Take a screenshot of your new folder and save the screenshot to your new folder (ask your teacher if you don't know how to take a screenshot)
  • Upload the screenshot by going to https://www.bournetolearn.com and log in using your BGS login ID and password.
