IT is actually the Boot Record. To see my source read A+ Guide to Managing and Maintaining Your PC be Jean Andrews .
Another POV:The original answer was "BIOS".The BIOS instructs the computer to start loading the first "software" application, which MAY or MAY not be a part of the registry, depending on which operating system is used.
BIOS stands for "Basic Input Output System".
In other words, the BIOS instructs the computer to load whatever "boot-loader" necessary for the next step.
See the attached explanation from Wikipedia.
It is really the data sheet.
It is actually the Registry file.
What else can I help you with?
At the beginning of the boot drive is the OS which loads the first program file of the OS?
boot record
When a user issues a command to start application software the operating system locates the program in and loads it into memory.?
When a user initiates a command to start application software, the operating system (OS) first locates the executable file associated with the application on disk storage. It then reads the necessary information, such as the program's metadata and dependencies, and allocates memory for the application. Finally, the OS loads the program into memory, setting up the required resources and context for the application to run, allowing it to execute commands and interact with the user.
With which program you can open the file with extension dmg?
A dmg file is an image file used by MAC OS. No program is needed, just click to open. unless your in windows
Loads the OS boot sector from the active partition and runs the program in this boot sector?
MBR (Master Boot Record) program.
Where and how can I run a program?
You can run a program in any OS. For example an executable program can be run in windows by .exe file extension.
What is the order in which the bootstrap program searches the OS boot up file?
The answer is CMOS.
What two items are contained in the MBR?
1.The master boot program (446 bytes), which loads the OS boot program stored in the OS boot record. (The OS boot program begins the process of loading the OS.) 2.The partition table, which contains the description, location, and size of each partitionon the drive (up to four).
What is a booststrap program?
A bootstrap program is the small program that is executed by the BIOS when the computer powers on. All it does is find the kernel for an OS and loads it into memory, thereby starting the computer's operating system.
How do you Find size of a file using c program?
OS-dependent.stat for unix, FindFirstFile for Windows.
Do file extensions do anything to a file or just tell an OS what program to open it with?
File extensions just tell your computer which program it needs to open the file. They also tell you what sort of file it is, for eg: If you got an email and there was an attachement called Sarah.jpg because of the .jpg at the end you know it is a photo file.
Is Operating System part of main memory or hard disk?
The OS is installed on the HD, just like any other program. The bootstrap process loads the OS from HD to main memory, where it is executed.
What happens in the background when you start a program?
When a program is started, the operating system loads the program's executable file from storage into memory. It allocates necessary resources, such as RAM and CPU time, and initializes the program's environment, including setting up variables and stack space. The operating system then transfers control to the program, allowing it to execute its instructions. Throughout this process, the OS also manages permissions and ensures that the program runs safely without interfering with other processes.
