  1. What is the purpose of the 'quota' feature in NTFS on Windows 10?

    Answer: Limits the amount of disk space each user can consume on a volume

    NTFS disk quotas let administrators set per-user disk space limits and generate warnings when thresholds are exceeded.

  2. A drive shows as 'RAW' in Disk Management after a power failure. What is the most likely cause?

    Answer: The file system is corrupted or unrecognized

    A RAW file system status means Windows cannot recognize or read the file system, usually due to corruption.

  3. Which file system is best suited for a USB drive that must be compatible with both Windows and macOS while supporting files larger than 4 GB?

    Answer: exFAT

    exFAT removes FAT32's 4 GB file size limit and is natively supported by both Windows and macOS without third-party drivers.

  4. What is a virtual hard disk (VHD) file used for in Windows 10?

    Answer: A file that acts as a complete disk image which can be mounted and used like a physical drive

    A VHD is a disk image file that Windows can mount as a virtual drive, used for testing, backups, and VM storage.

  5. Which Sysinternals or built-in Windows tool shows which process has a file or folder locked, preventing deletion?

    Answer: Process Explorer or Resource Monitor

    Process Explorer (Sysinternals) and Resource Monitor's CPU tab can identify the process holding a file handle lock.

  6. What is the purpose of running 'sfc /scannow' on a Windows 10 system?

    Answer: Scans and repairs corrupted or missing Windows system files

    System File Checker (sfc /scannow) verifies the integrity of protected system files and replaces corrupted ones from the cache.
