How about a building analogy? The hard drive starts out as a large
empty building, rooms are partitioned off, cabinets are added, boxes
are put in the cabinets, stuff is put in the boxes.

Heck, that analogy could also be useful in explaining defragging.


But that encourages the thought that each level is _different_ to the
one above. Which I fear a lot of newbies think anyway.

Label your rooms properly/logically and what goes in that room
should follow. You don't put your car in the bathroom .. etc.
Then too, my "logical" hierarchy may seem totally illogical to you.
[YMMV]
