I am preparing for a job interview and have a few questions. The last time I interviewed for a similar job the computer portion asked the following questions:

1. Map to a drive?

2. Print to a printer in your office space (on the LAN) but not connected to your computer.

3. Load Print drivers.

4. Backup a hard drive to a zip disk.

any other tips would greatly be appreciated.

Not sure what your question is but:
Map to a drive is what sets up the drive letter for your network drives cammand is normally as follows: MAP f:=Servername/Volumename
Print to a printer not attahced to your computer i.e networked. You have to run a capture statement to capture the printer print queue where you can definewhich lpt port, how long to wait before closing the print job, whether to have a header or force a page eject...
load print drivers - goto start>settings>printer and clickon add printer, select the printer from the list and use the windows drivers if there or click on have diskette and follow instructions from there.

What job are you applying for?

I think you are asking what are likely questions that you will be asked...?

I'd tell you what questions I have been asked in my job interviews, but since I have no idea what position you are applying for I can't help out there. Let me know what the position is and if I know the sorts of questions that'll be asked then I can answer.

Best advice I can give (not really knowing what the question is in this particular case), is to be yourself, don't inflate your actual experience as they will find you out soon enough if you do, and show that you want the job for which you are applying. Tell them what you can do for the company, not what you know you can't.
