Partition Recovery Course - LDM Recovery Test

How a partition start is calculated?

512*(Start LBA) + (Logical Disk Start)
(Start LBA) + (Logical Disk Start)*(LBAs per physical sector)
512*(Start LBA) – (Logical Disk Start)
(Start LBA) – (Logical Disk Start)
(Start LBA) + (Logical Disk Start)

How many components a volume can contain in LDM?

1
1 or 2
any number of components

Check what you need to get from VBLK blocks describing a disk when recovering LDM

disk GUID
Logical Disk Start
this object ID
parent component ID

Location of LDM database can be found in PRIVHEAD

false
true

Check what you need to get from VBLK blocks describing a component when recovering LDM

this object ID
disk object ID
parent volume ID
partition start LBA

Check where PRIVHEAD copies are located on a disk with MBR

at the end of the disk
anywhere but always before LDM metadata
at the beginning of the disk

Where is information about partitions and volumes stored?

in LDM metadata base
in the first sector of the disk
in PRIVHEAD

Based on what a partition is linked with a component?

parent component ID stored in partition object matches parent volume ID stored in component object
parent component ID stored in partition object matches this object ID stored in component object
disk object ID stored in partition object matches parent volume ID stored in component object

Based on what a component is linked with a volume?

parent volume ID stored in component object matches this object ID stored in volume object
this object ID stored in component object matches this object ID stored in volume object
component is not linked with volume

Check what you need to get from VBLK blocks describing a partition when recovering LDM

disk object ID
partition start LBA
parent component ID
this object ID
