|
a process that blocks a group of tracks and sectors to be used by a particular file system, such as NTFS.
|
|
|
Q. Formatting is a process....
|
that creates a table containing file and folder information for a specific file system in a partition.
|
|

|
Q. Disk striping is the...
|
ability to spread data over multiple disks or volumes.
|
|
|
Q. Disk mirroring is the...
|
practice of creating a mirror image of all data on an original disk, so the data is fully copied or mirrored to a backup disk.
|
|
|
Q. When install WS08 the existing disks are configured as...
|
basic disks by default.
|
|
|
Q. MBR and GPT Support. When a drive is partitioned, a Master Boot Record (MBR) and
|
a partition table are created at the begining track and sectors on the disk.

|
|
Q. EFI is...
|
an alternative to using BIOS firmware.
|
|
|
Q. One reason why GPT disk have been developed is that...
|
GPT disk partitions can be very large, with size limited by the operation system rather by the actual physical limit of the GPT disk.
|
|
|
Q. In WS08 x64 systems, a GPT partition can theoretically be up to...
|
18 exabytes, which is considerably larger than the 2 terabyte limit of a tradition MBR disk in WS08.

hardware-specific files to start the operationg system (system partition)
|
|
|
Q. An Extended Partition is created from space that is not yet partitioned.
