Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 202

Which of the following stand true for BIOS Parameter Block?

Answer options

• A. The BIOS Partition Block describes the physical layout of a data storage volume
• B. The BIOS Partition Block is the first sector of a data storage device
• C. The length of BIOS Partition Block remains the same across all the file systems
• D. The BIOS Partition Block always refers to the 512-byte boot sector

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer, A, is accurate because the BIOS Parameter Block indeed outlines the physical structure of a storage volume. Option B is incorrect as the BIOS Parameter Block is not necessarily the first sector, C is wrong because the length can vary between different file systems, and D is misleading since while it often refers to the boot sector, it does not always have to.
