■ Windows XP Professional supports two types of disk storage: basic disks and
dynamic disks. All disks are basic disks by default, but you can upgrade the basic
disks to dynamic disks with no loss of data. You can also downgrade a dynamic disk
to a basic disk, but all data on the disk is lost. Windows XP Professional provides the
Disk Management utility to configure, manage, and monitor hard disks and volumes.
You can also manage disks from the command line by using the Diskpart command.
■ Windows XP Professional provides two types of compression: Compressed Folders
and NTFS compression. A compressed folder appears in Windows Explorer as
an icon of a zipper across a folder. NTFS compression is a function of the NTFS file
system that allows you to compress files, folders, or an entire volume.
■ Use Windows XP Professional disk quotas to allocate disk space usage to users.
Windows XP Professional disk quotas track and control disk usage on a per-user,
per-volume basis. You can set disk quotas, quota thresholds, and quota limits for
all users and for individual users. You can apply disk quotas only to Windows XP
Professional NTFS volumes.
■ EFS allows users to encrypt files and folder on an NTFS volume by using a strong
public key–based cryptographic scheme that encrypts all files in a folder. You cannot
apply both compression and encryption to a file or folder at the same time.
Files remain encrypted if you move or rename them, or if you back them up.
■ Windows XP Professional provides three utilities for maintaining disks:
❑ Windows XP Professional saves files and folders in the first available space on
a hard disk and not necessarily in an area of contiguous space, which can lead
to file and folder fragmentation. Disk Defragmenter, a Windows XP Professional
system tool, locates fragmented files and folders and defragments them,
enabling your system to access and save files and folders more efficiently.
