Illustrate the use of a write-blocker on a Windows environment.

What will be an ideal response?

ANSWER: In the Windows environment, when a write-blocker is installed on an attached disk drive, the drive appears as any other attached disk. You can navigate to the blocked drive with any Windows application, such as File Explorer, to view files or use Word to read files. When you copy data to the blocked drive or write updates to a file with Word, Windows shows that the data copy is successful. However, the write-blocker actually discards the written data—in other words, data is written to null. When you restart the workstation and examine the blocked disk, you won’t see the data or files you copied to it previously.
