CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 299

A customer purchased a 3TB HDD to use with a Windows 7 PC and wants to have letter `J` assigned only to the drive.
Which of the following types of partitioning should be performed to give the customer full use of the 3 TB drive?

Answer options

• A. GPT
• B. Dynamic
• C. Basic
• D. Extended

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A (GPT) because Windows 7 can only recognize drives larger than 2TB when they are formatted with the GPT partition scheme. The other options, such as Dynamic, Basic, and Extended, do not support drives beyond 2TB in Windows 7.
