This question is from an open book exam and is causing some confusion for my fellow study mates... who all disagree with me (o maybe its me who is in a state of confusion)

So you guys can be the final judge of who is correct.

Question:
Thai formatted his C: drive using Fat 32 and his D: drive using NTFS and installed windows 2000 on D:
What type of partition is D:

a)Boot Partition
b)system partition
c)boot and system partition
d)none of the above

They all say the answer is C..
I say its A.

My reasoning.
Simple, because C is the primary partition it must be the active partition therefore its the system partition and D: is the Boot partition.

What do you say ....
 
Hmmm, then there is something odd going on..
Because I actually tested the disk setup ie C Fat32 and D NTFS with 2000 installed on D (the installation just finished) and it appears to support A being the answer.
I will read the link now... thanks 🙂
 
prolly not the best forum to post this in... os, gen hard.. whatever.. anyways, i'd say C too, but i could always be wrong..
 
My guess would be B but I'm not sure. I think the C: drive would be the boot partition. I might be wrong though
 
Actually, this is my system... well almost... FAT16 for C:
NT can't boot from FAT32, but Win2K can...

I vote for B assuming that "ntldr" is on the C: drive & it is the primary partition...
C: is boot, D: is system
 
The answer was A:
In Win 2000 naming is reversed, the partition that contains ntldr is now called the system partition and the partition where WINNT resides is called the boot partition.
