ROM isn't really hardware or software. ROM is Read Only Memory, which could be software or hardware. Software can be read only memory if made that way, and so could hardware.
A CD is neither hardware, nor software. A CD is media. A CD-ROM Drive is hardware.
Software Boye , Dn
a computer file is software because it is part of a program and not a device (hardware) i.e CD ROM drive,hard drive
The difference between hardware and software is that hardware is something physical. It is something you can touch. For example, a CD and its CD-ROM drive is hardware, but the music that is recorded on it is the software.
BIOS is software. It tells system software how to communicate with installed hardware. ROM is hardware. It stores a copy of the BIOS, and automatically loads its contents into RAM (the BIOS) when power is first applied to the system. Thus, while the two are related, they are not the same.
CD/DVD-rom drive, USB Flash drive. ect
It is a software driven hardware device. Part of the laser printer hardware is an embedded computer (a computer that the user is usually not aware of) that runs the printer mechanism control software stored in ROM (software stored in ROM is usually called firmware, because it cannot be changed as easily as software stored in RAM). This printer mechanism control software coordinates the functions of all the hardware mechanism of the printer and is much smaller than custom designed logic circuits that would do the same thing without an embedded computer.
A VDU is hardware.
Yes it is a hardware componint
ROM stands for Read Only Memory, so software that is ROM, can only be opened, and not changed.
A scanner is both hardware and software, the device itself is hardware (all devices are hardware) but the driver(a program) that runs it is software.
