Knowledge Assessment (PP 144-145)
1. By default, Windows 7 standard users are permitted to install Plug and Play devices only if their drivers are Digitally Signed.
2. The debilitating condition in which files are stored as clusters scattered all over the disk is called Fragmentation.
3. The file system included in Windows 7 that is specifically designed for use on flash drives is called exFAT32.
4. Technically speaking, you create partitions on basic disks and volumes on dynamic disks.
5. In Windows 7, the FAT32 file system is limited to volumes no larger than 32 GB.
6. The digital signature of a driver consists of a Checksum that is appended to the driver itself before publication.
7. To create a fourth primary partition on a basic disk, you must use the Disk Management (or disk part) utility.
8. To extend or shrink a partition on a basic disk, you must be a member of the Backup Operator or Administrators group.
9. The default partition style used by Windows 7 on an x86 computer is MBR.
10. All digitally signed drivers have undergone Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) testing.

2. False
3. True
4. False
5. True

10. True
Review
1. A striped volume writes to the physical disks evenly, rather than filling allotted space one and then moving to the next, and striped volumes do not provide fault tolerance.
2. To correct errors, enhance hardware performance, and add additional hardware functionality.
Case Scenario 4-1 trouble shooting graphics drivers
A user asks you to troubleshoot his Windows 7 workstation, which is behaving erratically. He has recently purchased and installed a new graphics adapter, and ever since then, he sees occasional wavy lines in the display. You run Device Manager on the system and note the manufacturer, model, and version number of the device driver for the graphics adapter. Then, you check the adapter
