| Q23: Windows NT 4.0 is currently on the system you are using, and you want to install Windows 2000 Professional. Windows NT 4.0 is currently on an NFTS partition. For some reason you have decided that you are not going to upgrade, but rather, you are going to run this in a dual boot fashion. What do you need to do?
A. Can't be done.
B. You need to put Windows 2000 on a separate partition from Windows NT 4.0
C. You need to upgrade Windows NT 4.0 to SP4.
According to microsoft, it is not recommended to install them both on the same partition and sp4 is required, hey freak if u there what do u think? | |
|
| My guess is that you put them on separate partitions so the new install doesn't mess up the current settings. They both have the same windir name.
The sp4 is needed so winnt4 can access the new NTFS version 5 partition. | |
|
| The answer to that one my frined is that NT4 needs to have SP4 on it at least. NT4 needs to have that service pack on to be able to communicate with 2000. I am positive of this. | |
|
| You need to put Windows 2000 on a separate partition from Windows NT 4.0 and you need to upgrade Windows NT 4.0 to SP4. | |
|
| you do not need sp4 to put 4.0 on a seperate partition, if you want 2000 and 4.0 to comunicate you need sp4.
also if you were going to upgrade 4.0 to 2000 you need sp4.
any correction welcome. | |

| Tricky little question if you read it too fast 
It is only asking for a dual-boot solution. We aren't upgrading, so we don't need to have NT running SP4. Also, the question doesn't say anything about accessing the Win2k partition when we are running NT.
However, we do need to put Win2k on a seperate partition.
I agree with 65blue, I would answer "B". | |
|
| That exact question is in Exam Cram and the answer is C. The question above is worded weird granted and based on what they are asking above you would want to say B. I would still choose C | |
|
| I did a little digging and found some info...
If you intend to create a dual-boot system with Win2K and Windows NT 4.0 as the only installed OS's, you must install NT 4.0 Service Pack 4.
Win2K will automatically upgrade any NTFS partitions it finds on your system to NTFS 5.0 (Win2K’s recommended file format). However, NT 4.0 requires SP4 to be able to read and write files on an NTFS 5.0 volume.
Furthermore, you need to install the two OS's on different drives or partitions.
So... we could argue a case for either "B" or "C". If they're only looking for one answer, I'd say heck with it and probably flip a coin if I came across this question on the test
If it's choose all that apply, "B" and "C" works for me.
Take Care. |
