1. A. You should disable the device. When the correct driver is available, you can enable the device and update the driver.
2. D. If you are using a USB bus-powered hub, the device attached to the hub may require more power than the hub can provide. In this case, you should use a self-powered USB hub. You can determine if the hub is the problem by removing the hub and directly attaching the device to the computer’s USB. You can also troubleshoot this error by attaching the device to a self-powered USB hub and seeing if it works.
3. A. When you install Windows XP Professional or upgrade your computer from Windows NT 4 to Windows XP Professional, your drives are configured as basic disks. Windows XP will not read a disk that has been configured with disk spanning or disk striping under Windows NT 4.0.
In this case you will need to upgrade your computer to Windows 2000 Professional first and then convert your disk from basic to dynamic. When you upgrade to Windows XP Professional, it will recognize the disk as dynamic and your spanned or striped disk will be recognized and your data will be preserved.
4. D. Dynamic storage supports three dynamic volume types: simple volumes, spanned volumes, and striped volumes. Windows XP Professional does not support mirrored volumes.
