Windows 7 Chapter 4 Device Disk

Front 1

Opening Device Manager

Back 1

mmc devmgmt.msc

Front 2

Installing Device Drivers from Windows Update

Back 2

The most straightforward method of accessing
this dialog box is to type device installation in the Search text box

Front 3

staging

Back 3

If the device driver does not exist in the driver store, then an administrator needs to approve the device.

Front 4

You have four devices plugged into an unpowered USB hub. You have a powered hub with an empty slot and decide you could improve hardware performance by transferring one device from the first hub to the second. How to you determine which of the devices on the unpowered hub consumes the most power?

Back 4

Double-click Universal Serial Bus Controllers, in Device Manager. Right-click the
unpowered USB hub and choose Properties. On the Power tab, view the power
required by each device in the Attached Devices list.

Front 5

Local Group Policy Editor

Back 5

gpedit.msc

Front 6

.sys extension

Back 6

Working driver files operate as if they are part of the operating system and typically have a .sys extension

Front 7

.inf extension

Back 7

Driver installation files have an .inf extension.

Front 8

Using the System Information Tool to Identify Resource Conflicts

Back 8

msinfo32

Front 9

Driver Verifier Monitor

Back 9

Windows 7 provides the Driver Verifier Monitor command-line tool, which lets you monitor
device drivers to detect illegal function calls or actions that might corrupt the system

verifier /?

Front 10

verifier /volatile

Back 10

The /volatile flag lets you start verification of any driver without rebooting,

Front 11

verifier /faults

Back 11

the /faults flag that lets you inject stress tests of configurable severity to determine whether the driver is working properly in all situations.

Front 12

Checking Digital Signatures with the DirectX Diagnostic Tool

Back 12

dxdiag

Front 13

Checking Digital Signatures with the File Signature Verification Tool

Back 13

sigverif

Front 14

Add a driver manualy

Back 14

pnputil –a c:\newdrivers\mydriver.inf

Front 15

If you need to determine the published name for a driver package,

Back 15

pnputil.exe -e

Front 16

Defrag commands

Back 16

Defrag <volume> | /C | /E <volumes> [/A | /X | /T] [/H] [/M] [/U] [/V]

Front 17

One advantage of GPT disks

Back 17

One advantage of GPT disks is that you can have more than four partitions on each disk. GPT is also required for disks larger than 2 TB

Front 18

Dynamic disks

Back 18

Dynamic disks use a private region of the disk to maintain
a Logical Disk Manager (LDM) database.

Front 19

LDM

Back 19

Logical Disk Manager (LDM) database.

Front 20

If you need to move dynamic disks

Back 20

If you need to move dynamic disks, move all the dynamic disks from a computer at the same time, and make sure that they are all online and
running on the destination computer before you try to import them

Front 21

before you convert basic disks to dynamic disks

Back 21

you should determine whether you require the features provided by dynamic disks, for example spanned volumes, striped volumes, mirrored volumes, or RAID-5 volumes.

Front 22

What partition type enables you to have more than four partitions on each disk?

Back 22

GPT

Front 23

To convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk

Back 23

DISKPART> prompt, enter convert dynamic

Front 24

When you convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk

Back 24

any existing partitions or logical drives on the basic disk become simple volumes on the dynamic disk.

Front 25

To change a dynamic disk back to a basic disk using the Diskpart utility

Back 25

convert basic

Front 26

If an administrator has used the mountvol /n or the diskpart automount command

Back 26

you must mount it manually
and assign it a drive letter using Disk Management or the diskpart and mountvol commands.

Front 27

If one disk or icon show an error on disk management, what kind of this is?

Back 27

Only dynamic disks display the Missing or Offline status and can be reactivated.

Front 28

To create a simple volume on a dynamic disk

Back 28

create volume simple [size=<n>] [disk=<n>]

Front 29

A spanned volume

Back 29

A spanned volume uses the free space on more than one physical hard disk to create
a volume.

Front 30

The advantage of a spanned volume

Back 30

The advantage of a spanned volume is that the portions of disk space need not be the same size and more than one of them can be on the same disk

Front 31

striped volume

Back 31

A striped volume uses the free space on more than one physical hard disk to create the volume.

Front 32

How many disk require a stiped volume (RAID-0)

Back 32

At least two.

The portions of disk used to create the volume need to be the same size

create volume stripe [size=<n>] disk=<n>[,n[,..]]

Front 33

A mirrored or RAID-1 volume

Back 33

A mirrored or RAID-1 volume provides availability and fault tolerance but does not improve
performance. It uses two disks (or two portions on separate disks) that are the same size. Any changes made to the first disk of a mirror set are also made to its mirror disk.

The advantage is that you can mirror a system disk containing your operating system.

Front 34

Striped Volume with Parity (RAID-5)

Back 34

A striped volume with parity offers high availability, failover protection, and performance
improvement. It requires at least three disks, or equally sized portions of unallocated space on at least three separate disks.

Front 35

Disadvantage of RAID-5

Back 35

A RAID-5 volume cannot hold system information and cannot store your operating system.

Front 36

Diskpart tool to list the volumes available for shrinking

Back 36

shrink querymax.

extend [size=<n>] [disk=<n>] (for extended)

Front 37

You have selected a volume using the Diskpart tool. What command tells you the maximum amount by which you can shrink it?

Back 37

shrink querymax
