Booting process unleashed..

Booting process is the fundamental step of any computer system. Booting of a system technically refers to loading of certain system programs and files in a working memory of a computer system in a sequential build up to bring computer in a working state. After finishing the initial startup process the specific operating system will load. Systems that are able to run Microsoft or Linux operating system follows the same boot up process whereas Macintosh have different set of Booting process.

The Basic Input Output System (BIOS) is Boot firmware, designed to be the first code run by a PC when powered on. The initial function of the BIOS is to identify, test, and initialize system devices such as the video display card, hard disk, and floppy disk and other hardware. This is to prepare the machine into a known state, so that software stored on compatible media can be loaded, executed, and given control of the PC. This process is known as Booting.
