You work for a small city IT department and have just received a new, unformatted laptop hard drive from the manufacturer that you need to replace a damaged unit. You take all appropriate safety precautions, assemble the required tools, and replace the laptop’s hard drive. You then boot the laptop to test it. What do you expect to happen?

A. You expect to see the laptop boot into Windows.

B. You expect to see a message saying that there is no operating system present.

C. You expect to see a message saying Windows needs to be configured.

D. You expect that you will receive a message saying the BIOS needs to be installed.

Solution

As the hard drive is unformatted , no operating system is loaded into it.
inorder for the system to start, an opertaing system is to be loaded into the hard drive
as operating system acts as an interface between the user and computer.
So a message saying that there is no operating system present will be displayed.

Hence, otpion b is correct.
