Opening Device Manager
|
mmc devmgmt.msc
|
|
Installing Device Drivers from Windows Update
|
The most straightforward method of accessing
this dialog box is to type device installation in the Search text box |
|
staging
|
If the device driver does not exist in the driver store, then an administrator needs to approve the device.
|
|
You have four devices plugged into an unpowered USB hub. You have a powered hub with an empty slot and decide you could improve hardware performance by transferring one device from the first hub to the second. How to you determine which of the devices on the unpowered hub consumes the most power?
|
Double-click Universal Serial Bus Controllers, in Device Manager. Right-click the
unpowered USB hub and choose Properties. On the Power tab, view the power required by each device in the Attached Devices list. |
|
Local Group Policy Editor
|
gpedit.msc
|
|
.sys extension
|
Working driver files operate as if they are part of the operating system and typically have a .sys extension
|
|
.inf extension
|
Driver installation files have an .inf extension.
|
|
Using the System Information Tool to Identify Resource Conflicts
|
msinfo32
|
|
Driver Verifier Monitor
|
Windows 7 provides the Driver Verifier Monitor command-line tool, which lets you monitor
device drivers to detect illegal function calls or actions that might corrupt the system verifier /? |
|
verifier /volatile
|
The /volatile flag lets you start verification of any driver without rebooting,
|
|
verifier /faults
|
the /faults flag that lets you inject stress tests of configurable severity to determine whether the driver is working properly in all situations.
|
|
Checking Digital Signatures with the DirectX Diagnostic Tool
|
dxdiag
|
|
Checking Digital Signatures with the File Signature Verification Tool
|
sigverif
|
|
Add a driver manualy
|
pnputil –a c:\newdrivers\mydriver.inf
|
|
If you need to determine the published name for a driver package,
|
pnputil.exe -e
|
|
Defrag commands
|
Defrag <volume> | /C | /E <volumes> [/A | /X | /T] [/H] [/M] [/U] [/V]

|
One advantage of GPT disks
|
One advantage of GPT disks is that you can have more than four partitions on each disk. GPT is also required for disks larger than 2 TB
|
|
Dynamic disks
|
Dynamic disks use a private region of the disk to maintain
a Logical Disk Manager (LDM) database. |
|
LDM
|
Logical Disk Manager (LDM) database.
|
|
If you need to move dynamic disks
|
If you need to move dynamic disks, move all the dynamic disks from a computer at the same time, and make sure that they are all online and
running on the destination computer before you try to import them |
|
before you convert basic disks to dynamic disks
|
you should determine whether you require the features provided by dynamic disks, for example spanned volumes, striped volumes, mirrored volumes, or RAID-5 volumes.
|
|
What partition type enables you to have more than four partitions on each disk?
|
GPT
|
|
To convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk
|
DISKPART> prompt, enter convert dynamic
|
|
When you convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk
|
any existing partitions or logical drives on the basic disk become simple volumes on the dynamic disk.
|
|
To change a dynamic disk back to a basic disk using the Diskpart utility
|
convert basic
|
|
If an administrator has used the mountvol /n or the diskpart automount command
|
you must mount it manually
and assign it a drive letter using Disk Management or the diskpart and mountvol commands. |
|
If one disk or icon show an error on disk management, what kind of this is?
|
Only dynamic disks display the Missing or Offline status and can be reactivated.
|
|
To create a simple volume on a dynamic disk
|
create volume simple [size=<n>] [disk=<n>]
|
|
A spanned volume
|
A spanned volume uses the free space on more than one physical hard disk to create
a volume. |
|
The advantage of a spanned volume
|
The advantage of a spanned volume is that the portions of disk space need not be the same size and more than one of them can be on the same disk
|
|
striped volume
|
A striped volume uses the free space on more than one physical hard disk to create the volume.
|
|
How many disk require a stiped volume (RAID-0)
|
At least two.
The portions of disk used to create the volume need to be the same size create volume stripe [size=<n>] disk=<n>[,n[,..]] |
|
A mirrored or RAID-1 volume
|
A mirrored or RAID-1 volume provides availability and fault tolerance but does not improve
performance. It uses two disks (or two portions on separate disks) that are the same size. Any changes made to the first disk of a mirror set are also made to its mirror disk. The advantage is that you can mirror a system disk containing your operating system. |
|
Striped Volume with Parity (RAID-5)
|
A striped volume with parity offers high availability, failover protection, and performance
improvement. It requires at least three disks, or equally sized portions of unallocated space on at least three separate disks. |
|
Disadvantage of RAID-5
|
A RAID-5 volume cannot hold system information and cannot store your operating system.
|
|
Diskpart tool to list the volumes available for shrinking
|
shrink querymax.
extend [size=<n>] [disk=<n>] (for extended) |
|
You have selected a volume using the Diskpart tool. What command tells you the maximum amount by which you can shrink it?
|
shrink querymax
|
