5.You are installing Linux into a computer with two IDE hard drives. You plan on dividing each hard drive into two partitions. What are the names of the partitions?

hda1, hda2, hda3, hda4
hda1, hda2, hdb1, hdb2
sda1, sda2, sda1, sdb2
sda1, sda2, sda3, sda4

Explanation: IDE hard drives can be recognized by the letters ‘hd’. SCSI hard drives use the letters ‘sd’. Hard drives use letters a, b, c etc… with ‘a’ being the first hard drive (hda) and ‘b’ being the second hard drive (hdb). The partitions use numbers 1, 2, 3 etc.. with 1 being the first partition and 2 being the second partition. Therefore the first 2 partitions on the first disk will be hda1 and hda2 and the first 2 partitions on the second disk will be hdb1 and hdb2.

Incorrect Answers

A: hda3 and hda4 are the 3rd and 4th partitions on the first disk.
C: The letters sd are used for SCSI disks.
D: The letters sd are used for SCSI disks.
