This type of installation involves the use of an answer file. The answer file provides all the information that is manually provided by the technician during a manual installation. Often this answer file is placed on a network server with the image files or the operating system installation files. —
Unattended installation
This type of installation involves upgrading from one operating system to another, while keeping as many settings as possible. —
In-place upgrade
This type of installation involves installing a new operating system. Even if the computer has a previous operating system installed, a ______________ does not retain any settings from the previous operating system, meaning that user accounts and settings will need to be recreated and applications will need to be reinstalled. —
Clean install
This type of installation repairs an operating system by overwriting the currently installed files with the version of the file from the installation media DVD. This type of installation will not change any settings. —
Repair installation
This type of environment allows multiple operating systems to be installed on the same computer. It involves modifying the boot.ini file so that the user can select which operating system to boot. Many companies are now choosing to use virtual machines instead of a multiboot environment. —
Multiboot
In a network installation, the installation files (that are in the i386 folder on the installation media) are copied to a network location. Individual computers then boot, access the network share, and install the operating system. This often involves the use of a Preboot eXecution Environment -PXE-. —
Remote network installation
System images can be created using imaging tools. These image files are then placed on a network server so that they can be deployed across the network. —
Image deployment -
In Windows, a recovery partition allows you to restore the operating system to its factory defaults. This recovery partition will allow you to refresh your computer without losing your files, remove everything and reinstall Windows, or restore to an earlier point in time -which requires System Restore to be set up on your computer.- —
Recovery Partition -
Refreshing keeps your personal files and settings. Restoring will allow you to undo system changes. They are different ways to use the recovery partition —
Refresh/Restore –
In a Windows installation, the boot files must reside on a primary partition. The operating system files may be on another partition. ________________partitions cannot be subdivided. —
Primary
_________________can be simple, spanned, or striped. —
Dynamic partitions
A ____________________disk that is partitioned as simple is the same as a basic partition, but it has the ability to be spanned or striped in the future. —
dynamic
A _________________________partition allows you to combine the storage of several disks into a single volume, appearing as one drive letter in the operating system. ______________ does not provide fault tolerance. —
spanned
___________________writes the data across several drives simultaneously, dramatically improving file I/O speeds. In round numbers, the I/O speed for striped volumes can be expressed as 1/N, where N is the number of drives. As with spanning, there is no fault tolerance. —
Striping
_________________partitions can be either primary or logical and reside on a physical drive. A basic disk can have up to four partitions. They can be four primary partitions or three primary and one logical. —
