Hey dude! I took my exam yesterday for O/S and I passed!! Basically I have a question like these:

1. What is WINMSD command when you type in Run box. I didn't know this one but after the exam I checked it and its System Information same as MSINFO32 command.

2. Of course some oldies DOS commands. XCOPY command appeared on my exam. The question goes like this. What is the command that XCOPY will copy all the files including empty subfolders. I checked it and it was XCOPY *.* <drive:> /S /E. Please double check for yourself.

3. A command that will edit Config.sys file which is Sysedit command.

4. Something about Incremental backup.

5. More on troubleshooting!!

Lastly, practice..practice the practice exams here man..it really helps a lot!!

g'luck!

LOL dude...

i just passed it less than a week ago....and yeah, you DEFINITLY want to know about Win2k and NT because...i hardly got any on 98 or XP.

Im in a class for certifications my school pays for, and everyone whos passes OS has had a majority of Win2k and NT questions, so I would suggest studying them.

Best of luck to you!

yeah, I think most of my questions were on Win2k/WinNT, but alot of those could of been applied to WindowsXP also.

Make sure you got your FILE SYSTEMS down , the limitations and advantages of each, the loading order for WIN9x and the NT family. the virus types( i got about 3 questions on that )

study safe mode and when to use it and what keys to boot into it. basically just study until you are getting at 90% on your practice exams and take as many as you can, cause what happens is people take the same one OVER and OVER, and instead of learning the material, they memorize the questions and this gives them false hopes.
