CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 330

A server administrator added a new drive to a server. However, the drive is not showing up as available. Which of the following does the administrator need to do to make the drive available?

Answer options

• A. Partition the drive.
• B. Create a new disk quota.
• C. Configure the drive as dynamic.
• D. Set the compression.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

To make a new drive available for use, it must first be partitioned. This process prepares the drive so that the operating system can recognize and utilize it. The other options, such as creating a disk quota or configuring the drive as dynamic, do not directly address the issue of making the drive available for storage.
