Which partition is the CentOS Operating System location?
When I install the CentOS6 operating system, there will create /boot, /, and swap partitions.
I want to know which partition is the operating system location?
such as if the CentOS OS break down, I can re-install the OS to that partition. like Windows, the C direction is OS location we can re-install the OS to the C, the D, E, F will not loss data.

Linux drive notation is fundamentally different to Windows, and cannot easily be compared.
In your case, the all the OS files are stored in various places on the / (noted as centos-root). The /boot area stores all the files needed to simply load the basics of the OS, and get it running. I'm not sure from the screenshot if it's in a different partition on the physical disk or not.
The swap partition is the Linux equivalent to windows swap file/virtual memory.
In Linux ALL partitions and drives are 'mounted' under the 'root' (/) of the system.
