Free CompTIA A+ 220-1101 Practice Question
A company's workstation is failing to load the operating system, displaying the message 'Bootable device not found' during startup. This machine uses a mirrored set of two hard drives for redundancy purposes. On inspection, both drives are showing error LEDs. What is the best first step to take in resolving this issue?
Inspect and ensure that all data and power connections to the hard drives are secure.
Format the drives to clear any corrupt partitions that may be preventing boot.
Swap the current cables for new ones without inspecting the existing setup to determine if the cables are indeed the problem.
Run a software utility to check the integrity of the drives and attempt to recover lost sectors.
