Partition Recovery Course - GPT Test

Check what size an MBR partition can have on a GPT disk

always full disk capacity
2TB on a disk larger than 2 TB
full disk capacity on a disk smaller than 2 TB
128 GB

Where is a backup GPT table of entries located?

right before a GPT backup header
right after a GPT backup header

Disks with GPT have MBR as well

false
true

Why do the disks with GPT have MBR as well?

to provide compatibility with old partitioning software
to provide additional reliability in case of failure
to provide additional performance
two partitioning schemes are better than one

How many entries are there in the GPT table of entries?

256
512
128
the number of entries varies

What type of MBR partition is used on a GPT disk?

0x07
0xFE
0xFF
0xEE

How many GPT header copies are stored?

4
3
2

There is a backup GPT header

false
true

Where is a backup GPT header located?

at the beginning of the physical disk
1024 sectors after the main GPT header
at the end of the physical disk
at the middle of the physical disk

Check where you should not to forget to look for GPT if you deal with an old GPT disk where

in 1024th sector
one sector back from the 2 TB boundary
one sector back from the 128 GB boundary
ten sectors forward from the 128 GB boundary
