You are the desktop administrator in your organization. You plan to install Windows XP Professional on a client computer. The computer contains a hard disk and a CD-ROM drive with a network card and a video card. After the installation begins, you receive an error message indicating that Setup cannot find a hard disk. You verify that the SCSI hard disk is connected and functional. However, the error message keeps coming up when you restart the setup.

What should you do to complete the installation?
  1. Disable the APM features in the system BIOS.
  2. Restart Setup and install the driver for the SCSI adapter while initially copying the files.
  3. Reserve an IRQ for the ISA SCSI adapter in the system BIOS.
  4. Set the system BIOS boot device option to boot from the SCSI hard disk.
Explanation
Answer - B- To be able to complete the installation, you must install the driver for the SCSI adapter during the setup, i.e. initially when the setup files are copied from the installation disc.

Key Takeaway: - The SCSI adapter installation files should be copied during the early text-mode phase of the setup process. To do so, you must press F6 and install the driver for the SCSI adapter.
