    Deleting an entry in Autorun will permanently get rid of that entry and is irrecoverable. 

    • TRUE

    • FALSE

    Correct Answer
    A. TRUE
    Explanation
    Deleting an entry in Autorun permanently removes it from the system and cannot be recovered. Once the entry is deleted, it will no longer be executed automatically when the system starts up. This action is irreversible, meaning that the entry cannot be restored or retrieved after deletion. Therefore, the statement "Deleting an entry in Autorun will permanently get rid of that entry and is irrecoverable" is true.

    The computer shows an "Operating System Not Found" error. Which is most likely affected?

    • MBR

    • NTLDR

    • NTDETECT.COM

    • NTOSKRNL

    • HAL.DLL

    Correct Answer
    A. MBR
    Explanation
    The "Operating System Not Found" error typically indicates that the Master Boot Record (MBR) is affected. The MBR is a small program that resides in the first sector of the hard drive and contains information about the partitions and the bootloader. If the MBR becomes corrupted or damaged, the computer may not be able to locate the operating system, resulting in the error message.

    A computer that gives the error: "\windows\system32\config\system is missing or corrupt" is most likely cause by: 

    • NTOSKRNL

    • MBR

    • NTLDR

    • NTDETECT.COM

    • HAL.DLL

    Correct Answer
    A. NTOSKRNL
    Explanation
    The error message "\windows\system32\config\system is missing or corrupt" suggests that a crucial system file in the Windows operating system, specifically the NTOSKRNL file, is either missing or damaged. NTOSKRNL is responsible for managing various aspects of the operating system, such as memory management, process scheduling, and hardware abstraction. If this file is not functioning properly, it can lead to system instability and prevent the computer from booting up correctly. Therefore, the error message indicates that the issue is most likely caused by the NTOSKRNL file.

    Where is the minidump folder located?

    • C:\windows\system\minidump

    • C:\windows\minidump

    • C:\windows\system32\minidump

    • None of the choices

    Correct Answer
    A. C:\windows\minidump
    Explanation
    The correct answer is c:\windows\minidump. This is the location where the minidump folder is typically found. The minidump folder is used to store small memory dump files that are created when a system error or crash occurs. These dump files can be analyzed to help diagnose the cause of the crash.
