Answers

1.	Correct Answer = D NTFS and FAT32 are incompatible file systems. You cannot see across these two partitions when they are installed on the same hard drive. This question states that you cannot see the Windows 9x files from within Windows NT Workstation. The obvious choice would be that the Windows 9x partition is FAT32.
2.	Correct Answer = B If you receive the error message “Boot could not find NTLDR. Please insert another disk.” on boot-up, it is advised that you run the Emergency Repair process. The ERD process will restore your important system files.
3.	Correct Answers = B, D, and E In order for NT to boot properly, the files NTLDR, BOOT.INI, and NT DETECT.COM must be located in the root directory of the system partition.
4.	Correct Answer = D If you can’t boot into your NT operating system, you should always first attempt to use the “Last Known Good Configuration” option on boot-up. You can initiate this option by pressing the space bar when you see the “Last Know Good Configuration” option displayed on the screen at boot-up.
