An embedded operating system resides on what chip?
A ROM chip
Types of device drivers?
There are only two types: software and firmware. A software device driver is a program written for a particular operating system to support a particular piece of hardware. A firmware device driver is also software, but it is etched onto a memory chip (ROM) or a programmable chip (PROM or EPROM). The BIOS and CMOS are examples of firmware drivers, both used to initially boot the system and load the operating system.
Difference between operating system and microprocessor?
An operating system is like Windows, Windows 2000, Windows XP, it's the controlling software of your computer. A microprocessor is the CPU, the brain of the computer. It does all the commands, does all the math, and displays the answers on you monitor. So the CPU is called hardware because it is an actual chip, while the operating system is called software because it is millions of lines of computer code.

Why is the operating system installed on the BIOS?
It isn't. the operating system is installed in your Hard Drive...your BIOS are in your CMOS(a little chip on your motherboard) the two have nothing to do with each other
What error is normal after replacing a BIOS chip?
When replacing a BIOS chip, it is normal for the computer to display an error saying that it cannot find the operating system. To fix this, simply change the boot order, putting the drive with the operating system as the first priority.
Why is CPU important to the computer?
The CPU is the main logic chip or "brains" in the system. It is what runs all of your software, and it is required for the computer to do anything at all. It is the "brains" regardless of whether an operating system or other software is installed. Even without the OS, you have the BIOS, EFI, or other firmware that gives it the ability to configure core system hardware and the ability to load an operating system.
What kind of operating system that resides on rom chip inside a pda is called?
Obviously many different PDAs have different names for their operating systems. But generally you would call it an embedded operating system, as it is running on an embedded device.
Where is the operating system of a cell phone stored?
It is typically burned into a tiny ROM chip on the phone's circuit board.
