Partition Recovery Course - GPT Test

Check the differences between GPT and MBR

GPT allows to create more than 4 partitions
GPT supports disks larger 2 TB
GPT supports disks less than 2 TB

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

128
the number of entries varies
512
256

Where is the GPT header signature located?

at the beginning of the header
at the end of the header

Disks with GPT have MBR as well

true
false

Why do the disks with GPT have MBR as well?

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

Sector numbers stored in GPT entry are given in

512-byte sectors
physical hardware sectors

How many GPT header copies are stored?

2
4
3

Where is a backup GPT header located?

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

Check where one should look for GPT

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

Check what a GPT partition entry contains
