Jack has configured his computer with two hard drives, disk 1 and disk 2. He has configured a logical drive C: on disk 1 and D: on disk 2. He wants to install Windows 98 on C: and Windows XP on D:. Windows 98 allows him to install some of his favorite applications that will not run under XP and Windows XP allows encryption and compression. Which of the following specifies the right way of formatting the C: and D: drives?
  1. Format logical drive C: as FAT32 and logical drive D: as NTFS.
  2. Format both logical drives as FAT32.
  3. Format both logical drives with NTFS.
  4. Format logical drive C: as NTFS and logical drive D: as FAT32.
Explanation
Answer - A - To be able to install Windows 98 on C: and Windows XP on D:, he must format C: with FAT32 and D: with NTFS.

Key Takeaway: FAT 32 is a version of the FAT file system available in Windows 95 OSR 2 and Windows 98. It increases the number of bits used to address clusters and reduces the size of each cluster. NTFS is the Windows NT equivalent of the Windows 95 file allocation table (FAT). It offers a number of improvements over FAT in terms of performance, extendibility, and security.
