Here goes for the Q of the Day. Hope it is better than the one yesterday.
You are have installed Windows 2000 onto a machine previously running Windows 98. You have three separate partitions on the same physical hard disk. The C: drive contains the Windows 98 operating system files and is formatted with FAT16. The D: drive contains the Windows 2000 operating system files and is formatted with NTFS. The E: drive contains data that will be accessed from both operating systems and is formatted with FAT16. Which of the following should you not do? Choose all that apply:
A.Convert the E: drive to NTFS.
B.Use EFS to encrypt files on the D: drive that will be accessed when the machine is booted into Windows 2000.
C.Create a shared folder on the D: drive that will be accessed over the network from a different machine running Windows 98.
D.Convert the disk to a dynamic disk.
See you tomorrow!  | |

| I'll guess A on this one | |

| Here i go:
A.Convert the E: drive to NTFS. This one definitely i'll dont do it because if i do it i couldn't access from Win98  .
B.Use EFS to encrypt files on the D: drive that will be accessed when the machine is booted into Windows 2000. I could do this one.
C.Create a shared folder on the D: drive that will be accessed over the network from a different machine running Windows 98. This could be if you enable the guest acount, i think.
D.Convert the disk to a dynamic disk. This one definitely i'll don't do it because dynamic disk could be accessed only by Win2k.
This is my answer. | |

| "D"
I was going to say "A" also, but as I recall, a windows 98 computer can access the information, you just need to have FAT32 on the win98 boot partition. I could be wrong, and often am. (Just ask my wife!)

| A.B.C.D.
A. you can not convert E: to NTFS because Windows 98 could not access it for its data any more.
B. Since W2K saved its data in E:drive, it is better not to encrypt ONLY system files, which might cause some problems.
C. It is not so clear in the question.If you really want other Windows 98 systems access its shared file, it is necessary to make the files shared. Because other Windows 98 can not share any files in D: drive(NTFS) anyway.
D. Definitely can not do it.Because Windows 98 doesn't support dynamic volume and also all of the Windows 98 files will be removed when upgrading from basic to dynamic. | |
|
| I'd say A & D
A: win98 cant read ntfs
D: win98 cant read a dynamic volume
B: partition D: is only accesed by win2000 so thats ok
C: creating a network share is irrelevant to the question | |

And the answer is:
A and D
Windows 2000 and Windows NT are the only operating systems that can access data on a local hard disk that is formatted with NTFS.
A dynamic disk is a physical disk that contains dynamic volumes created using Disk Management. Dynamic disks can contain an unlimited number of volumes, so you are not restricted to four volumes per disk. Dynamic disks cannot contain partitions or logical drives, and dynamic disks are not supported on portable computers. Use dynamic disks if your computer runs only Windows 2000 as they will render the entire disk unreadable to operating systems other than Windows 2000. | |

| You also cannot dual boot 2 OS`s in a single dynamic disk configuration.Win2k and XP included. | |

| I would go with A and D. |
