QUESTION 16
You are the administrator of a Windows 2000 network including 50 Windows 98
computers.
A shipment with 40 new PXE-compliant computers has just arrived and you are
asked to install them on the network. The new computers are delivered with
identical hardware. You are using a Remote Installation Services (RIS) image to
deploy Windows 2000 Professional to the 40 computers. You successfully install
Windows 2000 Professional on the first 10 computers. However, you cannot install
Windows 2000 Professional on the remaining 30 computers.
You want to install Windows 2000 Professional on the remaining 30 computers.
What network component do you need to change?
Hotspot.

Answer:
Explanation: Select the DHCP server.
The question states that the first ten computers installed successfully. This tells us that all
the requirements for RIS (Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, RIS) are in place and
configured correctly. Therefore, the most likely reason the installation of the remaining
30 computers failed is that the DHCP server has run out of IP addresses. We can fix this
by configuring the DHCP server with an IP address pool large enough to accommodate
the remaining 30 client computers.
QUESTION 17
You have been assigned the task to install Windows 2000 Professional on 75 new
computers. You prepare a standard installation image to use on all the new
computers. The hardware configuration on the hard disks and other hardware
components are not the same on all computers.
You prepare the image by installing Windows 2000 Professional and other standard
software used in the company on one of the computers. You log on to the computer
using the local Administrator account and make necessary configurations to the
standard applications and customize the desktop settings you intend to deploy.
You continue the image preparation by running the Setup Manager and creating a
Sysprep.inf file. Sysprep.exe and Setupcl.exe is copied to the
C:\Sysprep folder and
you run Sysprep.exe and your third party disk imaging software.
You copy the image to the several test computers and restart the computers. When
the installation is complete, you find that some of the computers do not function at
all. You also find that the desktop settings do not appear as you have configured
them on the original computer.
You want to correct the imaging process and ensure that all computers have the


same standard desktop. What should you do? (Choose two)
A. Copy Sysprep.inf to
C:\Sysprep folder.
B. Copy the Administrator profile to the Default User profile, and then grant permissions
to the Everyone group to use the profile.
C. Include the -pnp parameter for Sysprep.exe when you rerun that utility.
D. Include the -nosidgen parameter for Sysprep.exe when you rerun that utility.
Answer: B, C
Explanation:
B: A user profile is automatically created and maintains the desktop configuration for
each user's desktop on the local Windows 2000 computer. This user profile is created
when the user logs on to a computer for the first time. An administrator profile, which
maintains the administrators desktop configuration is created during the Windows 2000
Professional installation. In this scenario the administrator profile must be copied and
used as the Default User profile, which is applied to all users. As all users are
automatically placed in the Everyone user group, the Everyone user group must be
granted permission to access this profile.
C: Because the computers that Windows 2000 Professional will be installed onto have
different hardware configurations, a full plug and play detection must be done during the
installation process. This can be accomplished by including the -pnp parameter to the
sysprep.exe utility, as this parameter causes the plug and play detection utility to be used.
Incorrect answers:
A: When the installation is complete, you find that some of the computers do not
function at all and that the desktop settings do not appear as they have been configured
on the original computer. This indicates that the sysprep installation was successful.
Therefore the sysprep.inf file must have already been in the
C:\Sysprep folder (as is the
default when using setupmgr.exe to create the file).
D: The -nosidgen is only used on the initial computer where the clone image was made.
It instructs the installation program not to generate the system information that is unique
to each installation of Windows 2000 Professional. This parameter is not used here
during the installation of Windows 2000 Professional on the target computers. It is
therefore not relevant to this scenario.

QUESTION 18
You are the administrator of Alecnet 'ss network.
All user have Windows 2000 Professional installed on their desktop computers. The
sales department computers are installed with standard VGA adapters and the
marketing department computers are installed with SVGA adapters.
A Alecnet ps o licy requires that all users have a standard desktop configuration
with the Alecnet lso go. The Alecnet lso go is saved with 16-bit color and 1028 x 768
resolution. Several users in the marketing department have viewed the bitmap and


report that it is distorted and does not reflect the proper color depth.
You want users in the sales and marketing departments to have a standard desktop
configuration that can only be modified by the administrator. You also want the
custom bitmap to be viewed correctly on all computers.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose
three)
A. Install the appropriate WDM-compliant drivers for the computers in the marketing
department.
B. Change the custom bitmap to a 16-color bitmap that has 640 x 480 resolution.
C. Configure a separate user profile for each user in the marketing department.
D. Configure each user account in the sales and marketing departments to use a roaming
user profile.
E. Rename Ntuser.dat to Ntuser.man.
F. Move the Ntuser.dat file to
C:\Profiles on a network server.
G. Configure the NTFS permissions on Ntuser.dat to grant only administrators Full
Control.
Answer: B, D, E
Explanation: A hidden file called Ntuser.dat contains the section of the Windows 2000
system settings that applies to the individual user account and contains the user
environment settings. Create a user account that you can use to create user profiles. Log
on as the user you created, and configure all the desktop environment settings you want.
Log on as administrator and locate the Ntuser.dat file in
C:\Documents and
Settings\user_logon_name. You make the profile a mandatory roaming user profile by
changing its name to Ntuser.man. You can then copy this file to apply the mandatory user
profile to any other user or group.
If you want to have all the users in the sales and marketing departments to have a
standard desktop configuration that is modifiable only by the administrator; and in
addition to have the custom bitmap t be viewed correctly, then the custom bitmap logo
should be changed to 16-color bitmap that has 640x480 so as to enable it to be viewed by
both standard VGA and SVGA adapters as it is being used in the respective departments.
Incorrect answers:
A: 16-color bitmap with 640-480 resolution can be viewed by both SVGA and standard
VGA adapters.
C: There is no need to have a separate user profile for each user. You need to create
roaming profiles rather.
F: There is no need to move the Ntuser.dat file. All you need to do with the Ntuser.dat
file is to rename it to Ntuser.man.
G: The Ntuser.dat file contains the system settings that are applicable to individual
accounts and user environment settings. The permissions on this file should not be
changed.

QUESTION 19
You are a trainee at Alecnet 'ss main office. You have been assigned the task
to install Windows 2000 Professional on a new computer in the network. The
setup manager is used to configure a fully automated installation script file in
advance. You start an unattended installation and leave the computer for lunch.
When you return, the installation has stopped when it reached the GUI-mode setup
and you see the following error message "Unattended setup is unable to continue
because a setup parameter specified by your system administrator or computer
manufacturer is missing or invalid."
You need to complete the installation. What must you do?
A. In the unattended section of the answer file, set the OemPreinstall property to Yes.
B. In the NetBinding section of the answer file, specify the Enable variable.
C. In the UserData section of the answer file, specify the ProductID variable
D. In the GUIUnattended section of the answer file set the
OemSkipWelcome property to 1.
Answer: C
Explanation: For a fully unattended installation to complete, the ProductID or
product registration key, must be specified in the UserData section of the answer
file. The syntax of this key is ProductId =
"XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX". If this key is missing the error
message is returned.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The OemPreinstall property is used to determine whether a special subdirectory,
\$OEM$, should be copied to the hard drive and certain sections used during setup. This
is an optional property and does not affect the success of an unattended installation.
B: The Netbindings section of the answer file refers to communication channels between
various network components. This section would not generate the error message as the
Netbindings section can be used to specify communication between network components
on the target computer after Windows 2000 Professional has been installed on the
computer.
D: The OemSkipWelcome property is used to specify whether the Windows Welcome
Screen should be displayed when the system boots during the installation process. This is
an optional setting that does not require user interaction during the installation process
and has no effect on the success of an unattended installation of Windows 2000
Professional.

QUESTION 20
You are the network administrator of Alecnet 'ss network. Your network consists of
20 Windows 2000 server computers in the contoso.com domain. On the network
there is also 250 client computers installed with Windows 98. You have been
assigned to upgrade all computers to Windows 2000 Professional. You decide that a
clean installation is the best way to do this. All client computers are PXE compliant
and configured with identical hardware.
You want to accomplish the following goals:
1. An unattended installation of Windows 2000 Professional will be performed.
2. An unattended installation of company's standard applications will be performed
during the installation of Windows 2000 Professional.
3. Each computer will be assigned a unique security identifier description.
4. The unattended installation script will be modified so that the computers
automatically join the contoso.com domain.
You take the following actions:
1. Install Windows 2000 Professional on a Windows 98 computer named computer1.
2. Install and configure computer standard applications on computer1.
3. Use Setup Manager on computer1 to create an unattended.txt file based on the
current configuration including domain membership.
4. Start the remaining Windows 98 computers and then install Windows 2000
Professional. Use the unattended.txt file to provide the setting for the installation.
Which result or results do these actions produce? (Choose all that apply)
A. An unattended installation of Windows 2000 Professional will be performed.
B. An unattended installation of company's standard applications will be performed
during the installation of Windows 2000 Professional.
C. Each computer will be assigned a unique security identifier description.
D. The unattended installation script will be modified so that the computers automatically
join the contoso.com domain.
Answer: A, C
Explanation: The setup manager is used to create an unattend.txt answer file. Using
the answer file an unattended installation will be performed. New security identifier
descriptions (SIDs) are created by default during the installation process.
Incorrect answers:
B: The Sysprep.exe utility should be run after the installation of the applications so that
the applications can be included in the unattended installation.
D: The computers will not automatically join the contoso.com domain. You need to
prestage computer accounts and use a UDF (Uniqueness Database File) for the computer
names.

QUESTION 21
You are the network administrator for Alecnet .s
You plan to upgrade 550 computers from Windows 95 to Windows 2000
Professional and you wish that your trainee will do the operative work. To give your
trainee the correct tools for this upgrade you create an Unattend.txt file by using
Setup Manager and copy the file to the network share that will be used to install
Windows 2000 Professional. You instruct your trainee to start the installation on a
test computer by using a network shared folder and an answer file. When the
trainee completes the test installation you examine the test computer and discover
that the upgraded computers are not utilizing their entire hard disks.
You want to ensure that the unattended installation utilizes the entire hard drive on
all computers.
What should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose
two)
A. Add an [Unattended] section to Unattend.txt, and set the FileSystem parameter to
ConvertNTFS.
B. Rename Unattend.txt to Cmdlines.txt and copy it to the \$OEM$ subdirectory.
C. Add a [GUIRunOnce] section to answer file, and add an entry for the Unattend.txt file.
D. Create a \$OEM$\S$ folder on the hard disk of the test computer, and copy
Unattend.txt to the folder.
E. Add an [Unattended] section to Unattend.txt, and set the ExtendOEMPartition to 1.
F. Add an [Unattended] section to Unattend.txt, and set the ExtendOEMPartition
parameter to 999.
Answer: A, E
Explanation: When you run Setup in unattended mode on a computer with multiple hard
disks or partitions, specify the exact location of the destination hard drive or partition
where you are installing. Use the Winnt /t or Winnt32 /tempdrive switch to specify the
destination. If you use the CD Boot method, add AutoPartition = 1 to the [Data] section
of the Winnt.sif file to specify the location. With CD Boot, Setup installs to the first
logical partition that it finds with sufficient disk space.
If you want to ensure that the unattended installation makes use of the entire hard drive
on all the computers, you should add an answer file section to the Unattend.txt and set the
File System parameter to convertNTFS as well as set the ExtendOEMPArtition to 1.
Incorrect answers:
B: You do not need to rename the Unattend.txt and copy it to the \$OEM$ subdirectory.
C: This will run a program after the installation. This is not required.
D: There is no need to create a \$OEM$\S$ folder. This will not ensure that the
unattended installation uses the entire hard drive on all the computers.
F: The Extends OEMPartition should be set to 1 and not 999 in conjunction with setting
the FileSystem parameter to ConvertNTFS.

QUESTION 22
You are the network administrator for Alecnet .sc o m.
You have received a shipment of 75 new computer to Alecnet .sc om. The users
are anxious to start using them and you need to install Windows 2000 Professional
as soon as possible on them. You create a fully automated installation script file by
using Setup Manager wizard. You do a test installation with the fully automated
installation script file. When the installation completes you realize that the Windows
2000 Professional CD does not contain the driver for the Plug and Play video
adapter used by the new computers.
You want to include the correct driver for the video adapter when installing
Windows 2000 Professional.
What should you do? (Each correct presents part of the solution. Select three.)
A. Run sysprep.exe with the -pnp parameter.
B. In the UserData section of the fully automated installation script file, specify the
ProductID variable.
C. In the Unattended section of the fully automated installation script file, set the
OemPnPDriversPath property to the location of the video driver files.
D. In the Unattended section of the fully automated installation script file, set the
OemPreinstall property to Yes.
E. Copy the video driver to the i386\$OEM$\$1\VidDriver.
F. Copy the video driver to the i386\$$\System32.
Answer: C, D, E
Explanation: The $OEM$ subfolder is used to hold applications, drivers, or utilities you
want Setup to copy to the target computer. If Setup finds the $OEM$ folder in the root of
the distribution folder, it copies all of the files found in this directory to the temporary
directory created during the text portion of Setup. The OEMFILESPATH key in the
answer file allows you to create the $OEM$ subfolder outside of the distribution folder.
Thus options C, D and E should enable you to include the correct driver for the video
adapter.
Incorrect answers:
A: Sysprep.exe with the -pnp parameter is the Mini-Setup wizard that detects new or
different Plug and Play devices on the destination computer and disables those that were
used on the master computer but not found on the destination computer. You might want
to use the -pnp switch to enable legacy device detection or to re-enumerate the devices on
the destination computer. Using this switch adds a few extra minutes to the end-user's
experience in order to do a complete hardware redetection. However, this is not what is
required in this case.
B: The ProductID key specifies the Microsoft Product Identification (Product ID)
number. This parameter sets the Product ID for all computers installed using this
unattended text file to the same value. Specifying the ProductID variable will not ensure


that you have the correct driver for the video adapter included in the installation.
F: The video driver should be copied to the i386\$OEM$\$1\VidDriver instead.

QUESTION 23
You are the network administrator for Alecnet 'ss Windows 2000 network.
All Alecnet 'ss 550 client computers run Windows 98. You plan to upgrade the
client computers from to Windows 2000 Professional. All client computers need to
have a custom application installed. In your preparations you have created a
Cmdlines.txt file with the commands necessary to install the custom application.
You test the installation of Windows 2000 Professional on a computer in you test lab
by using a network shared folder for the installation files and an answer file.
When examining the computer after installation, you discover that the custom
application has not been installed.
You want to ensure that the unattended installation successfully installs the
application.
Where should you place the Cmdlines.txt file?
Hotspot.
Answer:


Explanation:
Two different files are used during an unattended installation. The first file is called an
unattended text file (sometimes referred to as an answer file). This file contains all of the
information necessary to install Windows 2000. The second file is called a uniqueness
definition file (UDF). Most large deployment systems have a standard configuration that
will be applied to each system.

QUESTION 24
You are a helpdesk technician for Alecnet .sc om's marketeing department.
Five new employees have been hired for the marketing department recently. These
new employees will need workstations as soon as possible and you have been
assigned the task to configure the computer. All client computers at Alecnets
.com have Windows 2000 Professional installed. You decide to perform an
unattended installation by using the Windows 2000 Professional CD-ROM. You
verify that the computers will start from the Windows 2000 Professional CD-ROM
and create an unattended answer file named Winnt.sif. In the answer file, you
include a [Data] section with the UnattendedInstall parameter set to yes, the
MSDosIniated parameter is set to 0, and the AutoPartition parameter is set to 1.
You save Winnt.sif to a floppy disk.
You begin the installation on one of the client computers by starting the computer,
however you receive the following error message: "Operating System not found."
You need to enable the Setup utility to read Winnt.sif from the floppy disk.
What should you do?


Answer:
Explanation:
The default setting in most BIOS' is to boot from the floppy disk first. This is what has
happened here. The problem is that the floppy disk containing the winnt.sif file is not
bootable so when the computer attempted to boot from the floppy, it failed. We need to
configure the computer to boot from the CD-ROM (which is bootable). When the setup
process starts, the winnt.sif file will be read from the floppy disk.


QUESTION 25
You have been assigned the task to upgrade 150 computers from Windows NT
Workstation 4.0 to Windows 2000 Professional. The senior desktop administrator
has provided you with an Unattend.txt file created by using Setup Manager on a
floppy disk.
You start the installation on a test computer by using the Windows 2000
Professional CD-ROM and inserting the floppy disk after the computer starts.
Even though the user interaction level was set to full unattended mode, you are
prompted for all the required parameters. You want to ensure that the unattended
installation does not prompt you for input.
What should you do?
A. Add a [Data] section to Unattend.txt, and set the Unattendedinstall parameter to Yes.
B. Add an [Unattend] section to Unattend.txt, and set the OEMPreinstall parameter to
yes.
C. Rename Unattend.txt on the floppy disk to Winnt.sif.
D. Create a \$Oem$\$1 folder on the hard disk of the test computer, and copy
Unattend.txt to the folder.
Answer: C
Explanation: When booting the computer from the CD-ROM, and then using an
answer file from a floppy disk, the answer file must be named Winnt.sif.
Incorrect answers:
A: A [data] section must be added to the unattend.txt file, and the unattendedinstall
Parameter must be set to YES. However, the answer file must be named winnt.sif, as it is
located on the diskette.
B: An [Unattend] section in the answer file has already been created by the Setup
Manager.
D: The unattend.txt file must be located on a diskette, and it must be named winnt.sif. It
should not be copied to a folder named $OEM$ on the hard drive.

QUESTION 26
You are the system administrator for an electronics manufacturing company. All
personnel in the accounting department use Windows 98 computers. Recently the
company purchased a third-party spreadsheet application that only runs under
Windows 2000 Professional. It is required that all personnel in the accounting
department use this application. You are asked to upgrade the computers in
accounting department to Windows 2000 Professional and install the new
application. You choose an unattended installation method for both the operating
system and the application.
The Windows 2000 Professional installation files reside on a server named
Alecnet sr v in a shared folder named W2Ksource. You place the installation files


for the spreadsheet application in \\ Alecnet sr v\W2Ksource\i386\$OEMS
You create an answer file named Acctanswer.txt and place it in
\\ Alecnet ssr v\W2Ksource.
You map drive letter H: to \\ Alecnet ssr v\W2Ksource and begin the installation
on a test computer by running the winnt32 /s:
H:\i386 /u:H:\acctanswer.text command.
Windows 2000 Professional is installed successfully. However, the spreadsheet
application is not installed.
You want to ensure that the spreadsheet application is installed during the
unattended installation. What should you do?
A. Run the winnt /s:
H:\i386 /u:H:\acctanswer.txt command instead of the winnt32
/s:H:\i386 /u:H:\acctanswer.text command.
B. Move the spreadsheet application installation files to \\ Alecnets
srv\\W2Ksource\\i386, and then run the winnt /s:
H:\i386 /u:H:\acctanswer.txt command.
C. Edit the [Unattended] section of the answer file to contain the parameter
OemPreinstall = Yes, and then run the winnt32 /s:
H:\i386/u:H:\acctanswer.txt command.
D. Rename Acctanswer.txt to Unattend.txt, and then run the winnt32 /s:H:\i386
/u:H:\unattend.txt command.
Answer: C
Explanation: The OemPreinstall parameter determines whether an OEM
pre-installation is being performed or not. When the value is Yes
, other subdirectories may be copied if they exist. This is what we want in this
scenario. We want the application to be installed through OEM pre-installation.
Incorrect Answers
A: You must run winnt32, not winnt when performing an upgrade installation.
B: The application files are located in the correct directory: a subfolder of the I386 folder
named $OEM$.
D: The name of answer file is unimportant in scenario.

QUESTION 27
You are the administrator of Alecnet .sc om's Windows 2000 network.
On your computer you have a dual boot configuration with Windows 2000
Professional and Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Service Pack 3. The computer is
equipped with three hard disks: Disk 0, Disk1, and Disk2. Windows NT
Workstation 4.0 is installed on Disk 0 and Windows 2000 Professional is installed on
Disk1. You want to use the third disk, Disk2, to store your project files. You
configure Disk2 as a basic volume and format the volume as NTFS in Windows 2000
Professional. When booting Windows NT Workstation 4.0. You find that you cannot
access your project files.


You want to be able to access your project files when using either of the operating
systems.
What should you do?
A. Upgrade Windows NT Workstation 4.0 to Service Pack 4 or later.
B. Configure Disk 2 as a dynamic volume then format as an NTFS partition.
C. Configure Disk 2 to use Encrypting File System (EFS).
D. Configure Disk 2 as a basic volume and format the volume as FAT32.
Answer: A
Explanation: Windows 2000 Professional uses the NTFS 5.0 file system while Windows
NT Workstation 4.0 uses the NTFS 4.0 file system. Windows NT Workstation requires
Service Pack 4 or later to be able to use the NTFS 5.0 file system.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Configuring Disk2 as a dynamic volume that is formatted as an NTFS partition will
not ensure that you will be able to access your project files when making use of either
operating system.
C: The Encrypting File System allows you to encrypt files on an NTFS volume so that
only you can use them. This offers a level of protection beyond that provided by NTFS
permissions, which you can use to restrict access to your files by others who log on to
your computer. However, this does not grant access to files if the computer is configured
as a dual booting system.
D: This option will not solve our problem, what you need to do is to upgrade to Windows
NT Workstation 4.0 to Service Pak 4 or later.

QUESTION 28
You have been assigned the task to upgrade 400 computers from Windows 95 to
Windows 2000 Professional. The most of the computers have an identical hardware
configuration. However, several different peripheral devices are used throughout
the company.
You want to verify that the hardware in use is compatible with Windows 2000
Professional. You want to accomplish this with least amount of administrative
effort.
What should you do?
A. Create several different computer configurations.
Install Windows 2000 Professional and enable driver signing.
B. Create a bootable floppy disk that contains and automatically runs
WinNT32.exe/CheckUpgradeOnlyQ.
Send the floppy disk to each user on the network.
C. Copy the contents of Windows 2000 Professional CD-ROM to a network share.


From the network, modify your network logon scripts to run
WinNT32.exe/Unattended:ReportOnly.
D. Use Setup Manager to create a Setup.inf file.
Add the entry ReportOnly=Yes to the [Win9xUpg] section of the answer file.
Run Winnt32.exe /Unattended:Setup.inf on all of the different computer configurations.
Answer: D
Explanation: Winnt32.exe / unattended:setup.inf will start an unattended
installation using the answer file setup.inf. When ReportOnly=Yes is added in the
[Win9xUpg] section of the answer file, the installation only generates an upgrade
report and then exits without making any changes to the current Windows 95 or
Windows 98 installation. The upgrade report contains a list of hardware and
software incompatibilities and is saved to the root of the system drive if the
SaveReportTo key is not specified.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Creating several different computer configurations and installing Windows 2000
Professional with the driver signing enabled would require a great deal of administrative
effort, administrative effort that is not required as the process can be automated by
running the Winnt32.exe /unattended:setup.inf with the ReportOnly option set to Yes.
B: You cannot run winnt32 from a bootable diskette, as the boot floppy operates in DOS
mode. You therefore cannot use 32-bit applications such as Winnt32 when booting form
a floppy disk. Winnt32 can only be run from a Windows environment. The boot disk can
start winnt. Furthermore, the switch /checkupgradeOnlyQ is not correct. The switch
should be /checkupgradeOnly without any Q.
C: The command winnt32.exe /unattended:ReportOnly will not work. It will try to start
an unattended installation with an answer file named ReportOnly. Furthermore, the
ReportOnly=Yes statement must be added in the [Win9xUpg] section of the answer file,
not by putting ReportOnly in the winnt32 command line.

QUESTION 29
You have decided to upgrade your old Windows 98 home computer to Windows
2000 Professional. The computer is equipped with a 400-Mhz Pentium III processor,
128 MB of RAM, and a 10-GB hard disk. You insert the Windows 2000 Professional
CD-ROM and start the computer. After you have finished the text mode installation
portion, you restart the computer. The BIOS virus checker on your computer
indicates that your computer is infected with a Master Boot Record virus.
What should you do before you continue the installation?
A. Remove the virus checker in Windows 98.
B. Disable the BIOS virus checker and restart the computer.
C. Run Fixmbr.Exe from the Windows 20000 Professional CD-ROM.
D. Modify the Boot.ini file to include a signature parameter on the ARC path of the


system partition.
Answer: B


Explanation: During the installation of Windows 2000, the setup program must
make changes the boot sector. The BIOS virus checker interprets changes made to
the boot sector as the result of a virus and prevents the computer from booting any
further. You must therefore disable the BIOS virus checker.
Incorrect answers:
A: Removing the virus checker in Windows 98 before starting the upgrade process could
increase the performance of the upgrade. However, it is the BIOS virus checker on the
computer that is indicating that the computer has a Master Boot Record virus. In this case
the BIOS virus checker is the problem though.
C: You can fix a faulty master boot record by starting the Recovery Console and using
the Fixmbr command. However, the master boot record has not been corrupted in this
scenario. The BIOS virus checker has mistakenly detected a possible virus.
D: The Boot.ini file points to the correct boot partitions on a dual boot system. It does
not indicate a boot sector virus warning. The BIOS virus checker has mistakenly detected
a boot sector virus and has generated the warning.
