You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.You add a 4-TB disk
named Disk 5 to Server1.
You need to ensure that you can create a 3-TB volume on Disk 5.
What should you do?
A.
Create a storage pool.
B.
Convert the disk to a GPT disk.
C.
Convert the disk to a dynamic disk.
D.
Create a VHD, and then attach the VHD.
Explanation:
The exhibit shows Disk1 to be a basic disk. The disk must be GPT since GPT disks allows
for partitioning.

true
why??
Funny how you always say “true” but no explanation, careful that many answers from the web master are wrong 😉
yeah totally agree lucasdrums. typing in “true” without any information as to why you think so adds no value at all. you might as well just type in “coleslaw” or “bicycle” or something else equally as pointless.
GPT
The GPT was introduced with Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP 64-bit Edition to overcome the
limitations of MBR, and to address larger disks. GPT has the following characteristics:
• GPT is the successor of MBR partition table format.
• GPT supports a maximum of 128 partitions per drive.
• A partition can have up to 18 exabytes (EB).
• A hard disk can have up to 8 zettabytes (ZB), with 512 kilobytes (KB) logical block addressing (LBA).
• To boot from a GPT partition table, your BIOS must support GPT.
Note: If your hard disk is larger than 2 TB, you must use the GPT partition table format.
