|  And today's poser is ....
Q16. Alison is attempting to explain to one of her subordinates how file and folder compression works within Windows 2000 Professional. As a demonstration, Alison brings out a DELL laptop that she has configured with three partitions.
Partitions C: and D: are formatted with NTFS
Partition E: is formatted with FAT32
Currently some compressed files reside on the D: drive of the computer. Alison's subordinate asks, hypothetically, what would happen to the compressed files if their location was changed. Alison attempts to explain to the subordinate the results of various actions.
Which of the following statements regarding copying and moving compressed files is incorrect? (Choose all that apply)
A. Files copied to the C: drive will inherit the compression status of the folder that they are copied to, files moved to a different location of the D: drive will retain their compression status and files moved to the E: drive will inherit the compression status of the folder that they are moved to.
B. Files moved to the C: drive will retain their compression status, files moved to a different location of the D: drive will inherit the compression status of the folder that they are moved to and files moved to the E: drive will become uncompressed.
C. Files copied to the C: drive will retain their compression status, files copied to a different location of the D: drive will inherit the compression status of the folder that they are copied to and files moved to the E: drive will retain their compression status.
D. Files moved to the C: drive will inherit the compression status of the folder that they are moved to, files moved to a different location of the D: drive will retain their compression status and files moved to the E: drive will become uncompressed.
Good Luck .... see you tomorrow for the answer!! | |

| Well after spending 30 minutes or so and still unsure but concluded that
( B C ) to be
It's got to a trick to learning this.I'll see | |
|
| "A", "B", and "C" are incorrect
Here's the way I remember.
Files always inhert unless moved within the same NTFS partition, then they retain
Also, compressed files moved or copied from and NTFS partition to a FAT or FAT32 partition loose their compression attribute.
Now armed with this powerful "trick" see how long it takes you to figure this one out. About 2 minutes time with a double check for me 
Compressed files are on D partition.
Anything moved or copied to FAT32 partition E looses it's compression. This makes "A" and "C" incorrect statements right away.
Anything moved or copied to partition C will inherit. This makes "B" an incorrect statement as well.
"D" is a correct statement.
So final group of incorrect answers is A,B,C | |

| Ok now I've read this question PROPERLY (Unlike Thursdays  )
I'm gonna go with "D" | |
| Tech Ranger 2002-07-22, 6:53 pm |
| A,B, and C | |
| denis_baribeau 2002-07-22, 7:41 pm |
| Got it now my answer should of been ABC
Thanks Spid | |

| I'm going with A, B & C too! | |
| jmcuellar 2002-07-23, 8:17 am |
| A,B,C just like 1,2,3 | |
| lardie 2002-07-23, 9:12 am |
| OMG I've done it again --- Sheesh this exam and me are really not gonna get on I can tell  | |

D. Files moved to the C: drive will inherit the compression status of the folder that they are moved to, files moved to a different location of the D: drive will retain their compression status and files moved to the E: drive will become uncompressed.
And the answer is ....
Correct Answer: A, B and C
First of all realize that the question was asking "which are incorrect" rather than correct. If you answered only one of these (the one that turns out to be correct) - you'll need to be careful because it means you haven't read the question properly (even though you have understood the technical content).
When you move a file or folder within a single NTFS volume the file or folder retains its compressed status (ie an uncompressed file or folder stays uncompressed while a compressed file or folder stays compressed).
When you copy a file or folder within a single NTFS volume the file or folder inherits the compression status of the destination folder. (note that copying (duplicating the data) is different to moving (where the data stays at the same sectors on the hard drive, but the directory represents it as being in another location).
When you move a file or folder between NTFS volumes the file or folder inherits the compression status of the destination folder.
When you move file or folders to FAT (or FAT32) volumes, the folders and files become uncompressed because FAT volumes don't support compression. |
