1FAT is defined as
- AA table consisting of master boot record and logical partitions
- BA table created during the format that the operating system reads to locate data on a drive
- CA table consisting of file names and file attributes
- DA table consisting of file names, deleted file names and their attributes
2How does a corrupted sector located in the data area of a hard drive affect the corresponding cluster number on a FAT table?
- AIt does not affect the corresponding cluster number on a FAT table; therefore, the rest of the sectors associated with the assigned cluster can still be written to.
- BIt does not affect the corresponding cluster number on a FAT table; only the corrupted portion of the sector is prevented from being written to.
- CIt does affect the FAT table. The corresponding cluster number is marked as bad; however, only the corrupted sector within the cluster is prevented from being written to.
- DIt does affect the FAT table. The corresponding cluster number is marked as bad and the entire cluster is prevented from being written to.
3Which of the following describes a partition table?

5If the FAT table lists cluster number 2749 with a value of 0, what does this mean about this specific cluster?
- AIt is blank and contains no data.
- BIt is marked as bad and cannot be written to.

- DIt is unallocated and is available to store data.
6Which of the following is true about a volume boot record?
