Does the kernel remain on hard disk while the computer system?
Yes, the kernel remains on the hard disk when the computer system is powered off. It is stored as part of the operating system files. When the computer is booted, the kernel is loaded into memory (RAM) to manage system resources and hardware interactions during operation.
The reason it is possible to remove the Windows 7 installation disk to supply the Setup program with drivers is that Windows PE runs on a?
RAM drive
The reason why it is possible to remove the Windows Vista installation disk to the setup programs with drivers is that Windows PE runs on a?
Windows PE is running on a RAM drive
In what situations would using memory as a RAM disk be more useful than useful than using it as a disk cache?
In cases where the user (or system) knows exactly what data is going to be needed. Caches are algorithm-based, while a RAM disk is user-directed.
What is stored on a hard disk as a page file and managed by the operating system?
A pagefile is backup RAM, i would strongly recommend against making this smaller or removing it as if your RAM is filled and you have no RAM then your system will fall in a heap. Of course, if you have 16GBs of RAM, feel free
How can you increase vga memory of a system by increasing ram?
If you have on-board video (not a separate video card) then you may be able to increase the allocated ram in the BIOS setup.
What terms describes creating a partition in system memory that acts like a hard drive?
RAM disk
What is diff between ram and hard-disk?
ram stores instructions and a hard - disk stores data
Why it is possible to remove the installation disk to supply the setup program with drivers?
Windows XP takes drivers only from floppy drives (during installation only). Vista can work with basically any drive. Anyway by the time the system asks you to insert drive with drivers there is software loaded in your RAM which allows you to remove the installation disk... And then put it back.
What is a paging algorithm?
"Paging" is when the operating system writes contents of RAM memory to disk, to free space for other uses.A paging algorithm specifies which RAM content to page (write to disk) when it needs more space.See related link.
What is a RAM stick?
RAM (random access memory). this is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computer's processor. RAM is much faster to read from and write to than the other kinds of storage in a computer, the hard disk, floppy disk, and CD-ROM. However, the data in RAM stays there only as long as your computer is running. When you turn the computer off, RAM loses its data. When you turn your computer on again, your operating system and other files are once again loaded into RAM, usually from your hard disk.
Differences between hard disk and ram?
in A nutshell, Hard Disk is used to Store Data, The Data gets written and once saved even if power goes off it will remain on the Hard Disk. (All your Documents, Files, music etc.) The Problem with the hard Disk is that its Way too slow in Reading a writing to acomodate a Operating Systems Fuction. Thik about waiting an hour or so for windows to boot, and feeling as if you were in the slowes computer ever. This is where RAM (Random Access Memory) comes in. Now RAM is very very fast in accessing Data, and while the data is loaded in RAM working on that data is a breeze. So when your Computer Boots its actually loading the Operation System onto RAM from your hard Disk and that's what you are working on, Same with any application, it loads onto RAM and that's how it works seamless without LAG ( most of the time :) ). Once you decide to save a file it then gets written onto the hard Disk again. Now Everything in RAM will be lost once the power goes off unless it was Saved.
