GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst (GCFA) — Question 23

You work as a Network Administrator for Blue Bell Inc. You want to install Windows XP Professional on your computer, which already has Windows Me installed.
You want to configure your computer to dual boot between Windows Me and Windows XP Professional. You have a single 40GB hard disk.
Which of the following file systems will you choose to dual-boot between the two operating systems?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct choice is FAT32, as it is compatible with both Windows Me and Windows XP Professional, allowing for successful dual-booting. NTFS is not suitable for Windows Me, and while CDFS and FAT can be used, they do not provide the necessary features for dual-booting with these specific operating systems.
