in Windows XP Professional
Am I right in saying there is no fault tolerance on XP what so ever, unless you backup? For example basic disk doesnt offer any for windows Xp. As well as Dynamic. If you want best performace on XP you would go for a Dynamic striped volume?

    Yup, you can only get fault tolerance with a third party solution, and striping would give you better performance than with spanned volumes.

    this is one of those gotchas. Motherboards with raid built in have been around for a while now. All it takes is an f6 floppy to set up windows on mirrored raid volume. My desktop is setup with both raid 0 and raid one arrays. Xp installed on a raid 0 and my docs is on a raid 1.
    But OFFICIALLY Windows only does striping.
    Also remember that officially you cant backup to CDrom ro DVDrom.

    That's using a third party solution for the raid. For a software raid, managed by windows and not your raid controller, you are stuck with what XP gives. So for the extent that the exam covers you only have striping available under XP.

    Be careful in your wording too, because a backup is not considered "fault tolerance", but rather a backup falls into the "disaster recovery" defintion. I am pretty sure Microsoft makes this distinction - someone correct me if I'm wrong. :)

    TRUE!
    I was just pointing out one of the pitfalls of studying for 70-270.
    Our practical experience (windows certainly does run raid 1)
    clashes with the official word (no raid 1 on windows!)
    The official explanation is that raid 1 requires 3rd party solutions. That's not good enough for me. Installing a printer usually requires a driver right? And windows supports those. Windows supports lots of things "with a driver" that it doenst support out of the box.
    But it's important to be mindful of the difference between your experience and what you need to know to pass the test!
