Partition Recovery Course - GPT Test

Sector numbers stored in GPT entry are given in

physical hardware sectors
512-byte sectors

Filesystem GUID stored in GPT entry can be used for multiple filesystems

true
false

Disks with GPT have MBR as well

true
false

Why do the disks with GPT have MBR as well?

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

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

0xFE
0x07
0xFF
0xEE

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

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

What is the size of GPT entry?

usually 128 bytes but this is not obligatory
128 bytes
256 bytes

Where is a backup GPT table of entries located?

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

Check where one should look for GPT

ten sectors forth from the 128 GB boundary
at the end of the disk
at the beginning of the disk
one sector back from the 2 TB boundary
one sector back from the 128 GB boundary
in 1024th sector

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