1.
Correct Answers: C
A. Incorrect:
The Boot.ini file specifies the set of choices that are presented to the
user before the operating system is loaded. The Boot.ini file can be configured to
allow for booting between several different instances of Windows, but it cannot be
used to modify the configuration of Windows XP.
B. Incorrect:
The System Restore tool is used to roll back the configuration of a
Windows XP system. However, it can be used only after the operating system has
booted. In this case, the System Restore tool is inaccessible because the operating
system is unbootable.
C. Correct:
The Last Known Good Configuration is a copy of the system state stored
in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet registry key when a
user last successfully logged on. You can revert to this backup configuration by
rebooting the computer and pressing F8 when prompted to select the operating
system from which to start. From the Windows XP Professional Advanced Options
menu, select the Last Known Good Configuration option.
D. Incorrect:
The Recovery Console can be a useful tool for recovering a system
that does not boot correctly, but it is not useful for restoring the last working con-
figuration of a system. Use the Recovery Console only when all other methods
have failed.
