So, I'm self studying for my second go at the 220-802 exam, and I'm wondering how to prepare for the simulation questions. I have one laptop running Vista Business, one network in the household, which others need for work/school, and thus can't be a guinea pig for troubleshooting network issues. So how can I simulate, and troubleshoot network problems without tampering with my current system/network and running the risk of screwing something up? Another example, I don't have a Vista installation disk, thus can't actually run Recovery Console, and therefore can't answer detailed questions about the system recovery process other than the highlights covered by most practice tests and study guides - which did me no good the first time around. This is a problem for a multitude of processes covered in the exam, processes that I don't have the means to perform hands on, and memorizing the steps and such is not enough to actually use the utilities in a given scenario.
So my question is, how can I prepare for the parts of the exam that require me to use X utility to solve X problem in X operating system, without having at my disposal: the equipment, the OS's, the network, and the know-how to simulate the problems?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
