LAB REVIEW QUESTIONS
1. In Exercise 6.5, why doesn’t the extended partition you created appear in the Disk
Management snap-in’s volume list in the top view pane?
2. In Exercise 6.4, why is it that you were unable to extend the Karen1 volume and were
forced to mount a volume to a folder instead, but you were able to extend Karen3?
3. In Exercise 6.6 after you converted Disk 0 from a basic disk to a dynamic disk, how
many partitions were there on the disk? How do you know?
4. If one of the hard disk drives should fail after creating the spanned volume on the
Accounting server by using space from both hard disks, what would happen to the
data stored on the volume?
