Answers

1.C is correct. RAID1 (disk mirroring) needs two disks to implement. Before you can enable RAID1 using Windows 7, you need to convert basic disks to dynamic disks, which converts the partitions into volumes. Answers A and B are incorrect because write caching only improves disk performance and does not help implement RAID1. Answer D is incorrect because to implement RAID1 using Windows 7, you must use dynamic disks.
2.C is correct. To make room for the new volume, you can shrink the system drive assuming the disk drive is set to dynamic. Answer A is incorrect because compressing volume C only gives you more disk space on the C drive but does not shrink the volume itself. Answer B is incorrect because a virtual hard disk can be attached to a system, but it does not add a volume to the 500 GB drive. Answer D is incorrect because disk quotas help you manage the disk to make sure users do not use too much disk space.
3.E is correct. A striped volume can contain up to 32 volumes. Therefore, the other answers are incorrect.
