curious about virtual drives

Hi, I'm curious about the virtual drives the downloaded devtoolkits create. Why does everything need to be on a separate drive like this? Is it pretending to be like "chroot" but on windows? Might I accidentally assemble a cursed ROM, which executes undefined behavior and unleashes a torrent of nasal chibiakuma demons, scribbling nonsense all over my hard drive?

It's so i can specify absolute paths to the tools and programs like \sources\file.asm

Using so many tools and emulators, many do not like relative paths, so this is the best solution I can think of

Ah, ok. Absolute is easy.
