You are setting up a computer system that will
dual boot between Windows 98 and Windows 2000. You have three hard drives in the
system. You want your security such that when users are logged in to Windows 98,
they can not access the files on the Windows 2000 partition. You are going to
install Windows 98 to your C partition and Windows 2000 professional to your D
partition. Which file systems should you use?
A. NTFS on the C: drive, FAT32 on the D: drive
B. FAT32 on the C: drive, NTFS on the D: drive
C. FAT16 on the C: drive, FAT16 on the D: drive
D. FAT12 on the C: drive, NTFS on the D: drive
Answer: B - Windows 98 can not be installed on a NTFS partition so the C: drive
has to be FAT16 or FAT32. If Windows 2000 is installed on FAT16 or FAT32, the
partition will be accessible when booted into Windows 98. NTFS on the D: drive
will not be able to be read when booted into Windows 98. References:

Which new Windows 2000 features lessen the need for rescue boot
disks? [Check all correct answers]
A. Safe Boot
B. System file protector
C. Recovery mode console

Answer(s): A, C - The Safe Boot option and recovery mode console, previously
unavailable in other Windows NT-based operating systems, provide similar
functionality to that of old rescue boot disks. System file protector doesn't
exist. Kerberos is a protocol; it doesn't provide fault tolerant
characteristics. References: |

You install Windows XP Professional on a
computer in which a non-Plug and Play network adapter card is installed. The
card is on the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). When the installation is
complete, you start Device Manager to view the installed devices. You notice
that there is no category for Network Adapters in Device Manager. You also
notice that the Other Devices category lists an ethernet controller whose icon
is a yellow question mark with an exclamation mark in a yellow circle. What step
should you take to install and configure the network adapter card?
| A. |
|
Use the Add/Remove Windows Components feature of Add/Remove
Programs. |
| B. |
|
Select Reinstall Driver from the Properties dialog box of
Ethernet Controller in Device Manager. |
| C. |
|
Use Add/Remove Hardware in the Control Panel to add the
correct driver for the network adapter card. |
| D. |
|
Use the Make New Connection icon in Network and Dial-up
Connections. |
Answer: B - You cannot configure a network adapter card driver until the
Ethernet controller is enabled and no longer listed in the Other Devices
category. You configure the Ethernet controller by selecting Reinstall Driver
from the General tab of its Properties dialog box in Device Manager. This
activates the Upgrade Device Driver wizard. You should allow the wizard to
recommend a driver, and you may need to provide a floppy disk or CDROM from the
network adapter card's vendor for the wizard to search for the correct driver.
When the wizard completes, Device Manager will display a Network Adapters
category and list the network adapter card in that category. Once a network
adapter card driver is installed and configured properly, a Local Area
Connection icon for the card will be added automatically to Network and Dial-up
Connections. You cannot manually add a local area connection. You cannot install
a driver for a network adapter card by using the Add/Remove Hardware wizard
without first enabling the ethernet controller. You will be able to install the
drivers, but the drivers will not load. The Add/Remove Windows Components
feature of Add/Remove Programs does not allow you to add support for network
adapter cards or Ethernet controllers. |

A user calls the help desk and states that she
cannot save a new file to her hard drive and that an "Insufficient Disk Space"
error message is displayed on the screen. You know that this particular computer
was installed only a month ago and that it has a 10GB capacity. Arriving at the
user's workstation, you enter "CD\" and then "DIR" at the command prompt. You
see that no subdirectories exist off the root directory. You immediately know
why this error message has occurred and why the user could not save a new file
to her hard disk. What tells you why this error message occurred and how the
user can regain more disk space?
| A. |
|
The user was connected to a network server that had, in
fact, run out of disk space. When you map the user to another share, the
user is allowed to proceed with normal working routines, which also frees up
disk space. |
| B. |
|
The user had 512 saved files in her C:> root directory,
which is the maximum allowed. By creating subdirectories, the user has more
disk space to store files, and the error message does not appear. |
| C. |
|
The user was trying to save a file to a floppy disk in the
A: drive. By saving data to the hard drive, the user has more disk space to
store files. |
| D. |
|
The user had 360 saved files in her C:> root directory,
which is the maximum allowed by creating subdirectories, the user regains
more disk space to store files, and the error message does not appear |
Answer: B - You can have only 512 directory entries in the root directory of a
volume on a logical hard drive. To have more than 512 files and directory names
in the root directory, you must use at least one subdirectory. Subdirectories
can have as many directory entries as there is room on the hard disk. You should
know the reason for the "Insufficient Disk Space" error message the instant you
see that no subdirectories existed off the root directory. After creating a
subdirectory and moving some of the files into that subdirectory, the user could
again save new files. |

Mary just purchased a new internal DSL modem from her local
computer store. The documentation that comes with the modem states that it is
Plug and Play. Following the directions in the manual, Mary proceeds to
physically install the modem into her Windows 2000 Professional computer. What
else does Mary need to do to start using the modem?
A. Install the driver.
B. Run the Plug and Play Administrator
C. Have the computer detect the new hardware
D. Nothing
Answer: D - Mary does not need to do anything. When the system boots up, it will
detect the Plug and Play compatible device and automatically install associated
device drivers. There is no such thing as the Plug and Play Administrator. |

You attempt to connect to a computer on the
network but cannot. Other computers cannot connect either. Your network consists
entirely of 10BaseT. What are the most likely causes? [Choose the two best
answers]
A. The computer is off.
B. ESD.
C. The network cable is not connected to the computer.
D. Too many users are logged into the network.
Answer: A, C - Generally, if you cannot connect to another computer on the
network, the computer is either down or not connected to the network. There are
other possible reasons for this scenario, but of the four offered, these are the
most likely. ESD has the potential to damage electronic components. However,
effects of ESD are often gradual rather than catastrophic. The effect of
excessive network load is a reduction in performance, not the inability to
connect to the network. |

A. 1 Gig
B. 2 Gig
C. 3 Gig
D. 528 Meg

Lightning struck your building and sent a power
surge throughout your office corrupting the master boot record on your Windows
2000 Professional computer. What can you do to recover from this?
| A. |
|
You cannot fix the master boot record. Replace the hard
disk and restore your data from tape backup. |
| B. |
|
Boot from the Windows 2000 CD or setup disks and enter the
recovery console. Run fixmbr to repair the master boot record. No other
action is required. |
| C. |
|
Boot from the Windows 2000 CD or setup disks and enter the
recovery console. Run fixmbr to repair the master boot record. Manually
rebuild the partition table as fixmbr will delete it. |
| D. |
|
Run ScanDisk from the command prompt |
Answer: B - Fixmbr is the same as fdisk /mbr was in DOS. It overwrites the
first 446 bytes of the master boot record to help recover in the event of
corruption. No other action is required after running fixmbr. fixmbr does not
alter or delete the partition table. Reference:

A virus has infected your computer. You want to run a virus
scanning program. What is the standard method for booting your computer before
running this program?
A. C drive
B. D drive
C. RAM drive
D. Floppy
E. None of the choices.
Answer: D - When the computer’s drive is infected, use a clean bootable disk to
boot the system and run the Virus scanning software. Many viruses attach
themselves to files that the operating system uses and can not be cleaned while
the files are in use by the operating system..
