YOU ARE A CONSULTANT HIRED BY FABRIKAM, INC. TO INSTALL WINDOWS XP...

7.

You are a consultant hired by Fabrikam, Inc. to install Windows XP Professional on 45

desktop computers. At the beginning of your first day, your manager provided you

with Fabrikam’s volume license product key and the Windows XP Professional CD-

ROM. You insert the CD-ROM into the first computer, but the installation fails after sev-

eral minutes—indicating that the installation media could not be read. You remove the

CD-ROM and examine it to discover a deep scratch in the surface of the media.

Your manager is nowhere to be found. His assistant reports that he will not return until

the afternoon, and that he is the only person with keys to the media locker where

backup copies of the Windows XP Professional CD-ROM are stored. However, you

brought your laptop from home, and your Windows XP Professional retail CD-ROM is

in the CD-ROM drive. What is the quickest way to begin your automated installations?

Choose the correct answer.

A.

Use your personal Windows XP Professional retail CD-ROM, and provide the

product key originally included with the disk.

B.

Use your personal Windows XP Professional retail CD-ROM and provide Fab-

rikam’s product key.

C.

Copy the contents of your personal Windows XP Professional CD to a shared

folder, and perform a network installation. Provide Fabrikam’s product key.

D.

Wait for the manager to return, and get a backup copy of the Windows XP Profes-

sional volume licensing CD-ROM.
