Got curious and opened the "BOOTCAMP" Device in Finder.

- No harm done by simply clicking there, right? ( I did not mess around with any folder, just a simple click)

- What's the purpose of that "Device" (with a disk icon)

Thanks! :)
 
BOOTCAMP is the partition, that gets created via Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows on your Mac.
Booting Windows on the Mac

The Devices section in Finder's Sidebar shows you the connected disks like internal HDDs or SSDs and its partitions. CDs and DVDs also show up there, as do external HDDs via USB or Firewire or eSATA or Thunderbolt. USB flash memory thumb drives also show up there.

Ohh OK, so it's simply a partition to share back and forth "files" with OS X? I assume if it's listed there, it's perfectly safe to click on...
