Question

1. Suppose you want to boot a VM from its virtual DVD drive, but it boots to the VM’s hard drive. Which of the following could be the source of this problem? Select all that apply.
   

   1. There is no DVD or ISO file mounted to the virtual DVD drive.
      

   2. The virtual DVD drive is not enabled.
      

   3. The boot sequence is not correct in the VM’s BIOS/UEFI settings.

   4. The hard drive does not have an OS installed.

2. You are setting up a Windows 10 desktop computer that requires 4 TB of storage. Which options work (select all that apply)? Which option is the recommended best practice?
   

   1. Install one 3-TB hard drive with the MBR partitioning system and 64-bit Windows 10.
      

   2. Install two 1.5-TB hard drives with the GPT partitioning systems and 32-bit Windows 10.
      

   3. Install two 1.5-TB hard drives with the MBR partitioning systems and 64-bit Windows 10.

   4. Install two 1.5-TB hard drives with the GPT partitioning systems and 64-bit Windows 10

Answer 1

1) The first, second and third options are the correct answers.

The problem may occurs due to the following reasons:

(i) Virtual drive is disabled,

(ii) The hard drive appears before DVD drive in the boot sequence.

(iii) The image file is not mounted.

The fourth option is wrong because this will not cause any problem.

2) The second, third and fourth options will work.

This is due to the fact that MBR does not support storage over 2 TB.

The fourth option is recommended for the best practice.

64 bit operating system can always provide better resource utilization in terms of memory, page file and bus width.

Hope this helps.
