Page xxxviii: Evaluation period of Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 incorrect

On page xxxviii, the information about the second CD-ROM containing an Evaluation Edition of Microsoft Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 reads:

Page 2-6: System partition referred to as boot partition and vice versa

On page 2-6, the fourth through ninth sentences of the second paragraph in the "FAT and FAT32" section read:

"If you are setting up a computer for dual booting, you need to format the system partition that contains the older version of Windows with FAT or FAT32. For example, if drive C is the system partition that holds Windows 98, you could format drive C as FAT or FAT32. You should then format the system partition that will hold Windows XP as NTFS. Finally, for multiple booting to be successful, the boot partition must be formatted using a file system that all installed operating systems can access. For example, if you are dual-booting between Windows XP and Windows 95, the boot partition (as well as the system partition on which Windows 95 is installed) would have to be formatted with FAT."

They should read:

"If you are setting up a computer for dual booting, you need to format the boot partition that contains the older version of Windows with FAT or FAT32. For example, if drive C is the boot partition that holds Windows 98, you could format drive C as FAT or FAT32. You should then format the boot partition that will hold Windows XP as NTFS.

Page 2-8: 63 character computer name definition needs to be added to Tasks

On page 2-8, under the Task heading at the bottom of the page the 6th task reads:

Page 4-27: Incorrect Figure 4-5

On page 4-27, Figure 4-5 is not an illustration of "Default and Last Known Good are the two available startup configurations". Please disregard this figure.

Page 10-28: Cannot encrypt compressed folders

On page 10-28, under the "What is the Compressed Folders Feature?" section the 4th bullet reads:

On page 20-43, the second and third sentences of the answer to the first excercise read:

They should read:

"You should configure Andrew's computer to perform a normal backup each night to the file server. This way, Andrew will need to restore only one backup if there is a problem, instead of having to restore a normal backup and then a differential backup (or multiple incremental backups)."
