ITPEC IP October 2020 Question 10
ITPEC IP October 2020 — Question 10 of 100
Device drivers installed separately must generally be reinstalled after the disk is initialized and the operating system is reinstalled. Initialization removes the previous software environment, and the fresh OS needs appropriate drivers to communicate with each supported peripheral.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- installing an application does not require reinstalling every driver it uses
- an unneeded driver can normally be uninstalled with appropriate privileges
- printer drivers are usually specific to a manufacturer, model family, or compatible command set
Key rule: A device driver translates operating-system requests into commands understood by particular hardware and must match the OS and device.
