An inventory specialist in the Manufacturing and Operations Department needs to determine what file systems are mounted on his Linux computer because he is not sure that the DVD/CD-ROM drive is properly mounted. Explain the steps he should use to determine the mounted file systems, and also note which file system should be mounted for the DVD/CD-ROM. To determine what file systems are mounted on his Linux computer, first he must access the command prompt or open a terminal window. Once there, type “mount” to see which file systems are actually mounted. Here he would check to see if his DVD/CD-ROM drive is properly mounted, and being recognized. The file system that should be shown would be iso9660.

A new computer has just been purchased for the accounting manager. The company purchased the computer without an operating system because they already have extra licensed copies of Windows 7. They ask you to set up the computer. What Windows 7 file system do you implement; recognize that the accounting manager needs a system that can be secure? Explain your decision and briefly discuss the advantages of this file system. Also, the accounting manager asks you to set up the preliminary folder structure to contain:
Accounting reports
Word-processed documents
Department memos
Personnel evaluations
Explain where you would set up this folder structure and show how you would name the new folders.
NTFS, being the most dominant Windows file systems, allows for longer file names, better file compression than FAT versions, and has Built-in security features. For security, NTFS is equipped with security features that meet the U.S. governments’ C2 (high-level) security specifications. For the file system, depending on how often he may use these, it could be put in the “documents” folder, or placed on his desktop. With the given titles, I would label the folders as they’ve been said, just to make things easier for the manager.
