when working in a Windows 2000 environment?
A. EDIT.COM
B. REGEDIT.EXE
C. REGEDT32.EXE
D. SYSEDIT.EXE
Answer: C
Explanation: Regedit.exe is included with Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 primarily for its search
capability. You can use Regedit.exe to make changes in the Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 registry,
but you cannot use it to view or edit all functions or data types on Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000.
The following limitations exist in the Regedit.exe version that is included with Windows NT 4.0 and Windows
2000: You cannot set the security for registery keys.
You cannot view, edit, or search the value data types REG_EXPAND_SZ and REG_MULTI_SZ. If you try
to view a REG_EXPAND_SZ value, Regedit.exe displays it as a binary data type. If you try to edit either of
these data types, Regedit.exe saves it as REG_SZ, and the data type no longer performs its intended function.
You cannot save or restore keys as hive files.
Microsoft recommends that you use Regedit.exe only for its search capabilities on a Windows NT 4.0-based or
Windows 2000-based computer.

A. use the ADD (automatic disable driver) Agent and read the details
B. open the properties of the failed component in Device Manager
C. check the VCM (version conflict manager)
D. run the SFC (system file checker) and read the details
E. run the ASD (automatic skip driver) Agent and read the details
Answer: B, E
B: Directly using Device Manager would be the first troubleshooting step.
E: The Automatic Skip Driver Agent (ASD) identifies potentially dangerous failures that are known to cause
Windows 98 systems to stop responding and marks the driver so they are bypassed on subsequent startups.
This change came about from one of problems in Windows 95, lockup during the boot process. ASD also
identifies hardware that fails to respond when tested by Windows 98 startup.
ASD can be launched two different ways:
1. From within MSInfo
2. Start - Run - ASD

B. SCAN C:/SURFACE
C. SCANREG C:/REPAIR

scan option of ScanDisk detects bad sectors, and updates the housekeeping areas of the disk so the bad
sectors will not be used for file storage.

the somewhat dated CHKDSK.

A: CHKDSK cannot fix surface errors. Furthermore, the CHKDSK command in Windows 9x does not have a
/M switch, only /F and /V switches.
B: The SCAN command does not exist.

Which command will you advise the Certkiller trainee technician to use in an attempt to fix a corrupt MBR
(Master Boot Record) when using the Windows XP Recovery Console?
A. FIXBOOT
B. FDISK /MBR
C. FSUTIL
D. FIXMBR
Answer: D
You must repair the MBR if it becomes corrupted and you can no longer access any volumes on that disk. You
can use several tools to repair the MBR. Which tool you choose depends on whether the partition table is also
damaged and whether you can start WindowsXP Professional.
Use the Recovery Console. You can use the
fixmbr command in Recovery Console to repair the MBR. You can start Recovery Console by booting from the
WindowsXP Professional operating system CD; so this troubleshooting method is available even if
WindowsXP Professional does not start in normal or safe mode. However, you cannot use Recovery Console to
repair partition tables that were damaged by viruses or other corruption.
Use DiskProbe. You can use DiskProbe to restore both the MBR and the partition table, but you must have
previously backed up this information by using DiskProbe, and you must be able to start WindowsXP
Professional.
Use a third-party disk editor. You can use a third-party MS-DOS-based, low-level disk editor to repair the
partition table if WindowsXP Professional does not start. This method is for experienced users only and
involves manually editing the partition table.
