CP/M Disks

Noob questions:
Out of the box the clone includes CP/M 2.2. If I boot that floppy, CP/M loads and I get the A> prompt as expected. If I switch to drive B:, CP/M accepts it and tells me there are no files. If I attempt to switch to C: I get a BDOS error and the computer seems to go into an endless loop.
I watched video 16 which is a CP/M intro and on that video there are files on B: and even C:.
So a few questions:
How do I get content to/from CP/M disks, once CP/M is running?
What tells CP/M the disks it has to work with?
On the support site there are .dsk files, some of which are bootable and some not. I'm thinking the bootable ones go into the clone config monitor but not sure how I work with non-bootable. I think I just need a nudge in the right direction to understand conceptually how all this ties together.
Is there a graceful way to get out of a loop caused by doing something like trying to access a drive that does not exist?
