Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 22

Which of the following statements are NOT true about the Volume Boot Sector, commonly known as Master Boot Record? Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

Answer options

• A. The actual program can be 512 bytes long.
• B. Four 16-byte master partition records are present in MBR.
• C. The end of MBR marker is h55CC.
• D. The volume boot sector is present in cylinder 0, head 0, and sector 1 of the default boot drive.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

The statement in option A is incorrect because the program code in the Master Boot Record is actually limited to 446 bytes, not 512 bytes. Option C is also false, as the correct end of MBR marker is 0x55AA, not h55CC. Options B and D are accurate descriptions of the Master Boot Record's structure and location.
