Question

A technician is asked to set up one hard drive that will support two operating systems and will store data files in three separate drive locations. Which partition settings will support these requirements?

Answer 1

The answer to the given question is "2 primary, 1 active, 1 extended, 3 logical".

Explanation:

In the given question we use this (2 primary, 1 active, 1 extended, 3 logical) partition on drive that can be explained as:

• In the drive, we use 2 primary partitions that name is active. This drive holds boot files for both the operating systems.

• After that, we will create 1 external partition.

• When we will create an external partition it will automatically create three logical drives and leave one additional primary drive for further storage automatically.

That's why we use this partition in this question.
