Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 22

How many sectors will a 125 KB file use in a FAT32 file system?

Answer options

• A. 32
• B. 16
• C. 256
• D. 25

Correct answer: C

Explanation

In a FAT32 file system, each sector is typically 512 bytes. Therefore, to calculate the number of sectors needed for a 125 KB file, you divide 125,000 bytes by 512, resulting in 245.3125, which rounds up to 256 sectors. The other options do not correctly reflect this calculation.
