2. What is the recommended way to configure the Automatic Updates feature in<br />

Windows XP?<br />

Microsoft recommends that you configure Automatic Updates to download and install updates<br />

automatically according to a preset schedule.<br />

3. For how many days does Windows XP function if you do not activate Windows or<br />

are not part of a volume licensing agreement? Choose the correct answer.<br />

a. 10 days<br />

b. 14 days<br />

c. 30 days<br />

d. 60 days<br />

e. 120 days<br />

C is correct. Windows functions normally for 30 days following installation. If you do not activate<br />

Windows within 30 days of installation, you cannot start Windows until you activate it.<br />

Case Scenario Exercises: Scenario 2.1<br />

What additional hardware do you need to install onto the computer prior to installing<br />

Windows XP?<br />

According to the minimum requirements for installing Windows XP Professional, you would<br />

need to upgrade the processor to at least a 233 MHz processor. Ideally, though, if you want to<br />

upgrade this processor, you should consider upgrading to something significantly faster.<br />

Although Windows XP Professional also requires a minimum of 64 MB RAM, 128 MB of RAM is<br />

recommended for adequate performance.<br />

Case Scenario Exercises: Scenario 2.2<br />

How should you configure this computer to run both Windows 98 and Windows XP<br />

Professional?<br />

You can install Windows XP Professional either by starting the installation from within Windows<br />

98 or by starting the system using the Windows XP installation CD. You should create a new<br />

partition from the unpartitioned space on which to install Windows XP Professional. You should<br />

probably format the new partition using the FAT 32 file system. If you format the partition using<br />

NTFS, Windows 98 cannot access any data on that partition.<br />

Troubleshooting Lab<br />

What do you suspect is the problem?<br />

Because Setup is failing when trying to write to the boot sector of the disk (which happens<br />

when Setup tries to reformat the disk), it is likely that the user’s computer has virus detection<br />

enabled in her computer’s BIOS. She must disable the BIOS-based protection while installing<br />

Windows XP Professional. She should re-enable the BIOS-based virus protection after the<br />

installation of Windows XP Professional is complete.
