answer the questions that follow. If you have difficulty completing this work, review
the material in this chapter before beginning the next chapter. You can find answers to
these questions in the “Questions and Answers” section at the end of this chapter.
You are an administrator working for a company named Fabrikam, Inc., a manufacturer
of neon dyes used in safety clothing for various industries. You are working with
a user named Iris, who plans and oversees exhibits that the company puts on at trade
shows across the country. The company has just given Iris a new notebook computer,
which she will use when traveling.
1. Iris’ new notebook computer has a 16 GB hard disk that you want to configure as
a single volume. It is the only hard disk on the computer. Should you create a
basic or dynamic disk?
2. When she is running the exhibit booth at tradeshows, Iris’ attention is often
diverted, and she is worried that she cannot always keep an eye on her notebook
computer. The computer contains trade secrets that she does not want to see compromised.
Iris wants to secure the files on her computer, even if the computer is
stolen. Can you configure encryption on her notebook computer? If so, what precautions
should you take?
3. Iris’ notebook computer does not have the biggest hard drive. She often works on
large sales documents and also stores many picture files of the products she sells.
She wants to compress these files to save space. What should you tell Iris to do?
