70-720 XP Practice Test question giving wrong correct answer

Bobsmirnoff

Anyone doing this question.. the answer givenas correct is plainly wrong:

You are the desktop administrator at a major enterprise. You just installed a second disk in one of the Windows XP clients and formatted it with NTFS. You are moving a large amount of files from an NTFS compressed folder on C: to a new uncompressed folder on the new drive. What will be the compression state of the files after they are moved?
a. The files will be compressed.
b. The files will be uncompressed.
c. Both the target folder and the files will be compressed.
d. Only the target folder but not the files will be compressed

The answer given as "correct" is B: but it should be A: the Question says MOVING data NOT copying, so they will retain their compressed state, (thats assuming they were compressed, the question doesnt say the files were). The External Link explanation confirms that too. And Ive tried it to make sure Im not losing the plot...

(I may be wrong on some of the following.)

When you move a file within the same partition, only the pointer is changed. The file remains in the same place on the disk, retaining it's compression state.

But when it is moved from one disk/partition to another, the data is physically moved. The act of moving consists of creating a copy of the file on the destination disk, and subsequently deleting the source.

So essentially, a copy is created, which means that the "copy" rules apply.
