17. List the steps to set up NT to dual boot.
18. There was one or two questions on choosing the appropriate file system based on security needs. NTFS was generally the obvious answer.

20. List steps for installing mouse not listed on HCL. This was a choose all that apply.
21. You log onto a computer shared with another user and notice the desktop settings have changed since you were last logged on. What might be wrong with the profiles? See NT Workstation test on Roadmap.
22. Your NT boot files are accidentally deleted. What error messages will appear on screen? What if DOS files are deleted and you select DOS?
23. There were several examples where you had to choose whether recovery by the Last Known Good Configuration, Emergency Repair Disk or using the VGA choice on the boot menu was the proper solution. Clues: If you are logged on and have a problem once into NT (mouse doesn’t work, keyboard locks up, screen turned black by weird desktop choices), the last known good is probably corrupt since it was written to once you successfully logged on. It can’t be used again for recovery until a correct boot up occurs and the registry is changed to new corrected settings or the ERD is used to return to old settings. That would leave you with using the VGA choice if the problem is display related (the user installed the wrong display driver) or the ERD for any other problem. Also running WINNT.EXE might be a solution if no other viable one is listed as an answer. Remember running WINNT is used to start the repair process with the ERD and striking R at the repair option menu area.
24. Will express set-up detect the network cards in a multi-card installation and if so, what protocol will be installed by default? TCP/IP? NETBEUI? No cards will be found? All cards will be found? One card will be found? Choose all that apply.
