What is add hardware wizard?
Add hardware wizard is a software programme that loads the hardware you've plugged into the computer, so that your windows can find it. x
Is bios or rom are same?
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.
Why do you think a system software programs always loads on the computer first?
Because the system software sets up the hardware, and tells the computer what peripherals and drivers to use. Without the computer being 'aware' of what equipment is plugged into it - they will not function correctly.
What is the total BIOS made up of?
The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is primarily made up of firmware, which is a low-level software embedded on a motherboard's read-only memory (ROM) chip. It includes a series of routines for hardware initialization during the boot process, system configuration settings, and a basic interface for hardware communication. Additionally, the BIOS contains a bootloader that loads the operating system from storage devices. Overall, it serves as the foundational layer that allows the computer to start and interact with its hardware.
What part of the operating system loads first and remains in the main memory?
The bootloader is the part of the operating system that loads first during the system startup. It initializes the hardware and loads the kernel into the main memory, which remains there to manage system resources and execute processes. The kernel serves as the core component of the operating system, facilitating communication between hardware and software. Once loaded, the bootloader typically relinquishes control to the kernel, which takes over the system's operations.
Definition of operating software?
An operating system (OS) is system software that manages computer hardware and software resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is a component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function.
What are the four steps of the router boot process?
The router boot process consists of four main steps: Power-On Self-Test (POST): The router performs hardware diagnostics to check the integrity of its components. Load Bootstrap Program: The router loads the bootstrap program from ROM, which initializes the hardware and prepares the system to load the operating system. Locate and Load the IOS: The router searches for the Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System) in the designated storage (typically flash memory) and loads it into RAM. Load Configuration File: Finally, the router looks for the startup configuration file in NVRAM to apply the saved settings and bring up the interfaces.
What is the Definition software?
Software that filters out viruses, bugs, and spam when you visit websites while the computer document loads.
Which Software loads the operating system into memory before execution?
bootstrap
Why is safe important?
it loads your computer with no hardware drivers so if there is a problem it will still start and then you can fix it.
Why is mode important?
it loads your computer with no hardware drivers so if there is a problem it will still start and then you can fix it.
Where hardware ends and software starts?
The kernel is the core piece of software which runs the operating system. It is the lowest part of a layered operating system and closest to the hardware itself. The kernel is loaded by a process of bootloading or bootstrapping when you turn the computer on. Bootloading starts with simple programs semi hard coded in the ROM chips on the motherboard which then progress to load increasingly 'smarter' programs until the kernel loads which is the basis for your full operating system.
