You work as a desktop support technician at Domain.com. The Domain.com network consists of a single Active Directory domain named Domain.com. All servers on the Domain.com network run Windows 2000 Server and all client computers run Windows XP Professional.
A Domain.com user named Rory Allen works in the Marketing department. Rory Allen works on a client computer named Certkiller -WS271 has an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) attached and installed. A severe lightning storm has caused a blackout disrupting all power to the Domain.com network. Due to the UPS, he was able to shutdown Certkiller -WS271in the proper manner before the UPS ran out of power. However, when he reboot, you find that some data is not available. Upon further investigation he sees the following display when you open Disk Management:
What should Rory Allen do to gain access to these files?
A.
Select the disk with the unavailable data and upgrade the disk to Dynamic Disk.
B.
Select the disk with the unavailable data and regenerate the Disk.
C.
Select the disk with the unavailable data and reactivate the Disk
D.
You should rescan both disks.
Explanation:
On any offline, disk all that is usually required is to have the disk reactivated to gain access to the data on the disk.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Upgrading the disk would not solve the problem of data that is unavailable.
B: On a failed disk there is no option to regenerate.
D: Rescanning disks scans all attached disks for disk configuration changes and since there was no reconfiguration of any of the disks this option would be futile.
