| well, i know that c - the simple volume can be extended. but in theory could'nt all the volumes be extended?? it doesnt say anything about dataloss? perhaps the system volum is the only one that cant be extended?? im babling now...i put it down to C- the simple volume..... | |

| I would say C. As a simple volume can be extended. (Assuming it is a dynamic disk.) | |

Herewith the answer:
Correct Answers: C
A. Incorrect: The system partition contains the operating system startup files. This might or might not be the same partition containing the boot patition. The boot partition contains the opertaing system files. A layout type of partition means that Disk 0 is a basic disk. Regardless of the disk storage type, basic or dynamic, the system partition cannot be extended.
B. Incorrect: Dis 1 is formatted as a FAT32 partition. FAT32 cannot be extended. Additionally, a layout type of partition means that this is a basic disk storage type containing basic volumes. Basic disks and basic volumes do not support volume spanning or volume extending.
C. Correct: Disk 2 is a simple volume formatted as NTFS, and it is not serving as the boot or system partition. Because the question doesn't specify whether the volume was created before or after upgrading the storage type from basic to dynamic, you should assume that the volume creation occurred after the storage type was upgraded.
Note: These conditions must be met to extend a volume: the volume does not host the boot or system partition; the volume was created after an upgrade to a dynamic disk; the dynamic volume is not striped (RAID 1 or RAID 5) or mirrored; a simple disk must contain unallocated space for the extension; and the simple or spanned volume to be extended must be running NTFS or no file system at all. An unformatted volume to be extended will be formatted as NTFS.
By definition, a volume is extended into some or all unallocated space on the disk containing the dynamic volume or another dynamic disk. To extend the simple volume, start the Disk Management snap-in, right-click the simple or spanned volume to be extended, and click Extend Volume.
D. Incorrect: Like Disk 1, Disk 3 is running FAT32 on a basic disk, so it cannot support extending the volume. |
