SHORT ANSWER

1 Is it possible to uninstall Windows XP? If so, how and under what circumstances is this done?

ANS:

Unlike most other Windows operating systems, Windows XP offers an uninstall or rollback

capability; however, it is supported only when an upgrade is performed over Windows

95/98/OSR2/SE/ME When an upgrade installation is performed over one of these versions of Windows 9x, Setup automatically creates backup files, which consume about 300 MB of drive space

in addition to the 650 MB needed by Windows XP itself

2 Generally, what are the steps required to upgrade to a 2-CPU system with Windows XP? Where can you find a step-by-step guide to completing this task?

ANS:

Once Windows XP Professional is installed, you need to update the HAL before installing a second CPU into the system If you fail to properly update the HAL, a STOP error indicating a HAL

mismatch occurs upon attempted reboot The process of updating the HAL is not difficult The

complete step-by-step details on performing this operation are found on the Use Device Manager to Switch from Uniprocessor to Multiprocessor Support Web page

3 Why is it a good idea to be careful when pressing the Next button in the GUI portion of setup? What can you do if you make a mistake?

ANS:

Often, the system takes several seconds or even a minute to alter the display even after you’ve clicked the Next button You should click the Next button only once and wait until the system responds, or wait at least five minutes, before clicking again Otherwise, you might inadvertently skip a page of the Wizard, and in some cases, you are unable to use the Back button If you suspect that you have

skipped a Wizard page and are unable to reach it with the Back button, you can cycle the power on your computer to restart the GUI portion of setup

4 Describe the process of booting from CD to initiate the Windows XP installation

ANS:

If your computer system supports bootable CDs, then you can launch the installation process straight from the CD-ROM drive To launch the installation straight from the installation CD, configure your computer to boot from the CD, place the CD into the CD-ROM drive, turn the power on to your system and, if prompted indicate to boot from the CD Some systems require you to press the

spacebar to boot from the CD, while others automatically boot from the CD if a bootable CD is discovered in the CD-ROM drive Once the system starts to boot from the CD, it inspects your system then it displays the license agreement

5 What are the four steps required to complete product activation by phone?

ANS:

1 Select your location (i.e., the country from which you are calling) This causes the correct toll-free and toll-charged telephone numbers for you to appear

2 Call one of the numbers displayed to speak with a customer service representative Follow any instructions given to you by the Microsoft activation customer service representative

3 Sometime during the call, you are asked to provide the installation ID This 50-digit number

is displayed in Step 3

4 The Microsoft activation customer service representative then reads back to you a

confirmation ID in 6-digit blocks As you are given these digits, type them into the text fields provided (labeled A through G) Once the entire confirmation ID has been entered, click Next At this point, Windows XP is activated and is now ready for use Clicking Finish closes the Activation Wizard dialog box and returns you to the desktop

6 What are some disadvantages to product activation?

ANS:

If you make a significant change to your hardware, your activation can be invalidated What

constitutes a significant change has not been defined fully by Microsoft It definitely means changing motherboards, but can also include changing a drive controller, video controller, or adding additional CPUs In any case, you can reactivate, but you have to contact Microsoft directly by phone A second drawback is that activation must be completed even if you don’t have Internet access Activation is quick and painless if you have Internet access If not, you need to activate your product by phone

7 Describe the FDISK utility What are its limitations?

ANS:

The DOS FDISK utility can be used to create and delete partitions However, it has limited capabilities with NTFS FDISK can see and delete only primary NTFS partitions FDISK cannot see or delete NTFS-formatted logical drives in an extended partition The tool DELPART can be used to delete any type of partition from a hard drive, including NTFS

8 Describe the WINNT32 command When is it used? How can you find information about the syntax? ANS:

WINNT32, the 32-bit setup tool, is designed to be launched from 32-bit operating systems (such as all versions of Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000, ME, XP, and 2003) WINNT32 is designed for standard and automated installations and offers several options for source and destination locations as well as debug logging The command-line syntax for the WINNT32 command can be found in the online Help information obtained from the “winnt32 /?” command

9 Describe the SYSPREP utility

ANS:

SYSPREP enables Windows XP and installed applications to be deployed quickly on multiple

computers that have the exact same hardware components SYSPREP must be used with a third-party disk-imaging product because it only prepares a system for duplication; it does not perform the

duplication Basically, SYSPREP removes the configurable settings of a system that are defined in a typical UNATTEND.TXT file and prepares the system to redetect all Plug and Play devices the next time the system is booted After the source computer or any duplicated computer is rebooted, a new SID is created automatically.A mini-setup wizard prompts you for local system-specific data, such as computer name, product ID, and username (the mini-wizard can be managed through scripts to fully automate the process), and forces a full redetection of Plug and Play hardware

10 Describe the automated installation process What supporting files are required?
