The following question involves the following Table, which contains part of a File Allocation Table. The “Cluster” column contains cluster numbers; the “Pointer” column contains the corre­sponding FAT entry.

The FAT entry contains one of the following: 0 to indicate a free cluster, 9999 to indicate the end of file, and any value in between indicates the next cluster in the file.

The following directory entries apply to these FAT entries:

- Name: F1, Starting Cluster: 100

- Name: F2, Starting Cluster: 106

- Name: F3, Starting Cluster: 120

- Name: F4, Starting Cluster: 126


Cluster Pointer 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109

We are writing additional data to file F1 and need to add another cluster to the end of the file. Locate a cluster in the FAT to add the file. List the specific changes to make to the FAT to add the sector to F1.
