Windows Server Administration Fundamentals — Question 70

Which of the following is described in the following statement:
"It is a 512 bytes long boot sector that is the first sector of a default boot drive. It is also known as Volume Boot Sector, if the boot drive is un-partitioned. "

Answer options

• A. POST
• B. BIOS
• C. SBR
• D. MBR

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, MBR (Master Boot Record), which is indeed a 512-byte sector containing boot information for the system. A is incorrect because POST refers to the Power-On Self-Test, which occurs before the booting process. B is incorrect as BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is firmware that initializes hardware during the booting process and does not refer to a boot sector. C is incorrect as SBR (Super Block Record) is not a standard term used in this context for boot sectors.
