    all comps are set up to read the c: drive

    That’s not true. You can choose wich storage device to boot from.

      More pedantic:

      C: is just how windows refers to its boot partition. You can have a PC boot from one of several partitions on your fastest internal drive, a different internal drive, a local external drive, an optical disk or USB device, or even a seperate network location.

        True. C: is not a computer thing, it’s a Windows thing. And it’s not a “drive”, it’s a partition.
