Flashcards do conjunto (18)
- 1Why do we need to know which file system your flash-drive/hard drive is using?To know the road map of your data (different depending on the file system you are using)
- 2File SystemGives operating system a road map to data on a disk
- 3Bootstrap Process1) In ROM, tells computer how to proceed
2) Displays key or keys you press to open CMOS setup screen - 4Disk drive components1)Geometry
2)Head
3)Tracks
4)Cylinders
5)Sectors - 5Sector1)Minimum storage unit of hard drive
2)512 Bytes
3)Combining sectors minimizes overhead of writing/reading files to a disk - 6Cluster1)Group of sectors
2)512-32,000 bytes each
3)Numbered sequentially starting at 0 in NTFS and 2 in FAT - 7Partition1)Group of Clusters
2)Logical drive - 8Partition GapUnused space between partitions
- 9File Allocation Table(FAT)1)File structure database Microsoft originally designed for floppy disks

2)Improvements over FAT:
2A)Provides more info about a file
2B)Gives more control over files/folders

- 13MetadataUsed to provide information about a specific file or document.
- 14UnicodeInternational data format
- 15Deleting FAT Files1)Directory entry is marked as a deleted file
2)Data in file remains on disks drive
3)Area of the disk where the deleted file resides and becomes unalloacated disk space - 16Complimentary Metal oxide Semiconductor(CMOS)Stores system configuration and date and time
- 17Solid-State Storage Device1)Making a full forensic copy asap is crucial in case you need to recover data from unallocated disk space
- 18RegistryDatabase that stores hardware and software configuration, network connections, user preferences, and setup information
