CREATING A RESTORE POINT PRIOR TO INSTALLING A NEW APPLICATION ENABLESYOU TO RESTORE THE SYSTEM’S CONFIGURATION IF THE NEW APPLICATION CAUSES PROBLEMS

4.

Correct Answers: C

A. Incorrect:

Creating a restore point prior to installing a new application enables

you to restore the system’s configuration if the new application causes problems.

However, Windows XP creates a Restore Point automatically when you launch a

Setup application.

B. Incorrect:

Use the Last Known Good Configuration only if the system becomes

unbootable. It might be a useful tool if the new application stops your system from

starting successfully, but it must not be used prior to installing an application.

C. Correct:

The Backup Utility enables you to back up all files and configuration

settings to removable media. Having a valid backup allows a Windows XP Profes-

sional system to be completely rebuilt in the event of a complete failure. Always

create a backup of a system before installing a potentially troublesome applica-

tion.

D. Incorrect:

Safe mode is a valuable tool for repairing a system that is having prob-

lems booting. Use it only after the system has failed, however.

E. Incorrect:

The Recovery Console can salvage systems that are otherwise com-

pletely unbootable. Do not use it prior to installing an application, however,

because it does not facilitate backing up files or configurations.
