You have just purchased a new USB drive that you want to use to troubleshoot the computers in
your company as well as other network devices, such as printers and projectors. You need to format
this new drive with a file system that will be recognized and used on all devices.
Which of the following file system types would meet MOST, if not all, of your needs when formatting
your USB drive?
FAT32
A logical division of a storage device associated with a hard drive.
Partition
A single accessible storage area within a file system.
Volume
A container in a file system used to logically sort and organize data.
Directory
A one-dimensional stream of bits treated as a logical unit.
File
You have an extra disk on your system that has three primary partitions and an extended partition
with two logical drives. You want to convert the partitions to simple volumes, preferably without
losing any data.
Which of the following is the BEST step to perform to accomplish this?
Upgrade the disk to a dynamic disk.
You want to set up a Windows system to also be able to boot to Linux. To be able to dual boot, the
system needs a partition on which to install Linux. However, you don't have an extra hard disk that
can be used for the Linux partition. The existing disk has no unpartitioned space available, but it has
about 300 GB of free space.

Which of the following disk management operations will BEST prepare your hard disk for dual boot
in this scenario?
Shrink the primary partition.
Match each disk type on the left with its corresponding description/features on the right. Each disk
type may be used once, more than once, or not at all.
Support up to 128 volumes.
Dynamic disks
Use primary and extended partitions.
Basic disks
Are supported by all operating systems.
Basic disks
Support volumes that use discontiguous disk space.
Dynamic disks
Store partitioning information in a hidden database on all such disks in the system.
Dynamic disks
Only support volumes made up of contiguous disk space.
Basic disks
You are using an older utility to manage a GPT-partitioned drive on a Windows 10 system. You only
see a single partition. However, you know you have multiple partitions across the hard drive.
What is the MOST likely reason that you only see one partition?
The utility can only manage MBR partitions and is displaying the drive's protected MBR.
