What "smiling faces"?

You may be correct that /your/ /D drive/ /on/ /your/ /laptop/ is not a
recovery drive. It is not however, as far as I can tell a separate hard
drive or a bootable drive. It's a partition on a single hard drive and
both
C and D occupy the same physical drive. Therefore, using the D
partition for
backups is not a good idea because if your hard drive crashes you will
not
be able to access your backups. Mike's advice would apply to you as
well.

Regarding your statement: "I said in no uncertain term that if his OS
is
same as mine"
This is where you made a mistake. It's not a question of the OS. It's a
question of the hardware configuration of the OPs computer.

No, sir, I did not. It came that way. I click Computer, and the

will show :

Hard Disk Drives (2) ________________

(Icon here) OS (C ( showing total GB, and how many left )

(Icon here) Local Disk (D ( showing total GB, and how many left)

Devices with Removable Storage (1) ____________

That's how I will see. I'm sorry, I have no idea about those smiling
faces, I did not do it.

Obviously you don't see those smiling faces. I AM looking at them now
as I am typing this response. 1 is at (C ), 1 at (D) and 1 a (E), all in
the same position. It must have something to do with " :" symbol, as
they're over and covering up those symbols.
Anyway, thank you for pointing out my mistake; using wrong terminology,
and misconception.
As to the D drive issue, Mike asked the same question, and I replied.
If you don't mind, kindly look at that one, and perhaps your opinion.
Thank you.
