What else can I help you with?
On what types of computers can you use dynamic disks?
Virtual Machines commonly use dynamically expanding storage. Additionally, Linux can use LVM, which allows dynamic resizing of sub-partitions.
What are difference between Basic storage versus dynamic storage?
Basic storage concerned with divvision of hard diski into partitions whereas dynamic storage refers to divide the partition of basic disk into more /uncountabe/max partitiions ,,,i.e windows 2000 and windows XP Professional supports only dynamic storage.
How many partitions can a small computer system interface support?
It depends if you are using a basic disk or dynamic disk( you can go to your drive and convert it from basic to dynamic but if you go from dynamic to basic it will destroy all data you have on it) dynamic disk can have more partitions although with dynamic it calls partitions volumes
How many total partitions can a small computer system interface support?
It depends if you are using a basic disk or dynamic disk( you can go to your drive and convert it from basic to dynamic but if you go from dynamic to basic it will destroy all data you have on it) dynamic disk can have more partitions although with dynamic it calls partitions volumes
What is the maximum number of partitions supported by a single dynamic disk?
4
Which storage method employs primary and extended partitions?
Basic
What are volumes in Linux?
Volumes are storage areas, such as partitions and disks.
What are basic and dynamic disks?
Basic disks use normal partition tables supported by MS-DOS and all Windows versions. A basic disk contains basic volumes, such as primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical drives. If you have any volume sets, stripe sets, mirror sets, or stripe sets with parity, you must back them up and delete or convert them to dynamic disks before you install Windows XP Professional. A basic or dynamic disk can contain any combination of FAT16, FAT32, or NTFS partitions or volumes. The disadvantage of a basic disk is that you are limited to creating only four primary partitions per disk or three primary partitions and one extended partition with logical drives. Windows NT based systems can support striping and software RAID sets for basic disks but Windows 2000/XP/2003 do not.Dynamic disks are supported in Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003. Dynamic disks do not use partitions or logical drives. Dynamic disks were first introduced with Windows 2000. With dynamic disks you can create volumes that span multiple disks such as spanned and striped volumes, and you can also create fault tolerant volumes such as mirrored volumes and RAID 5 volumes. Dynamic disks offer greater flexibility for volume management because they use a database to track information about dynamic volumes on the disk and about other dynamic disks in the computer. Windows Server 2003 can repair a corrupted database on one dynamic disk by using the database on another dynamic disk. With dynamic storage, you can perform disk and volume management without restarting Windows.Dynamic disks are not supported on laptop computers or on computers with Windows XP Home Edition installed. The number of volumes that you can create on a dynamic hard disk is only limited by the amount of free space available. Windows XP Pro, Home or 64 Bit Edition does not support mirrored or RAID5 volumes.You can use both basic and dynamic disks on the same computer system.
Identify and describe three basic disk storage types you can allocate in Windows XP?
primary partitions, extended partitions, and logical drives.
What are the recent memory management schemes?
Single-user contiguous Fixed Partitions Dynamic Partitions Relocatable Dynamic Partitions Paged Memory Allocation Demand Paging Working Set Segmented Memory Allocation Segmented/Demand Page Memory Allocation -------Taken from "Understanding Operating Systems. 6th edition pg 99
What is difference in static and dynamic storage allocation?
Static storage allocation is when a program dedicates an amount of memory for its use at the start of the program. Dynamic storage allocation is when a program only takes storage as it needs it.
Which of following storage devices can be divided into partitions that can have one or more volume?
flash drive
