"Bootstrapping" is long for "booting", which is simply a technique by which a simple computer program activates a more complicated system of programs.

Why do you need to use bootstrap What is the advantage and disadvantage of using bootstrap?
Without a bootstrap it would be impossible to boot a computer system but that's not really an advantage, it's a fundamental aspect of any computer system. The term "bootstrap" derives from the phrase: "to lift oneself up by one's own bootstraps". This is clearly an impossibility, not unlike standing in a carrier bag and then trying to lift the bag with you still in it; it can't be done. However, as we'll see, it is an apt phrase when it comes to initialising a computer system and provides the origin of terminology such as "boot process" and "bootup". On any computer system, most software is loaded and executed by other software that has previously been loaded and executed. For instance, the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) performs some essential checks upon the system hardware before loading and executing the boot loader which loads and executes a chosen (or default) operating system, at which point the user can logon and subsequently load and execute their own choice of programs. But given that we require a program or operating system in order to load and execute other programs, this presents us with a paradox during initial bootup. How does the very first program load and execute if there is no program present to load and execute it? The answer lies in the bootstrap. The bootstrap is a machine-code program that is permanently written to a read-only memory chip (ROM). Being read-only, the bootstrap cannot be changed other than by replacing the chip itself. Unlike programs stored in RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM programs do not require power to maintain state. Thus when power is restored to the system, the bootstrap is already in memory and can be executed automatically, at which point the bootstrap takes control of the system. Typically, a bootstrap will simply locate, load and execute the system's BIOS program which takes care of the POST (Power-On Self-Test) and prepares the system to load and execute the boot loader which takes care of the bulk of the boot process until the system is ready to load and execute an operating system, at which point the system has effectively lifted itself up by its own bootstraps.
Why is the name bootstrap given to bootstrap circuit?
The term bootstrap comes from the process of initializing the circuit or computer from a power off-on transition. The term is akin to picking one's self up by one's boot straps.In an ordinary logic circuit, this entails making sure that the circuit starts off in the right state following power on, usually by having a resistor charge a capacitor from VCC, forming a RESET signal. Often, there is a diode across that resistor, so that short power off-on sequences force a reset.Taking this further, into the computer, the RESET signal causes the processor to execute a bootstrap program out of ROM that initializes everything and loads the rest of the program from disk. (Some imbedded controllers do not have disks, but the principle is the same.)
How a bootstrap sweep circuit works?
A bootstrap sweep circuit basically works by linking together circuitry that can operate on its own without assistance from any outside or external source once it is activated. Much like basic alternating current this circuit can keep functioning all alone when properly linked up.
What is the applications of bootstrap amplifier?
it is a mechanism applied in an amplifier so as to raise it's input impedance.Mostly this mechanism is applied in a common collector(emitter follower) amplifier.
What would the bootstrap program need to do?
The bootstrap program should automatically load the operating system after a power outage or reset. The operating system would then load the remaining software.
How was the first os loaded onto the computer?
By first loading a small bootstrap program. The bootstrap program then loaded the OS.It is still done this way, except the bootstrap programon most modern computers is preloaded on ROM so it needs no special action on the part of the operator/user to load it as was needed on the early computers.Some early computers used a 2 stage bootstrap to simplify thing for the operator/user: the small bootstrap program loaded a larger more powerful bootstrap program, which then loaded the OS. This is not necessary with the bootstrap program in ROM, the large bootstrap program would be the one in ROM.

Why BIOS is used in booting the computer?
The BIOS contains two things: the low level bootstrap code, and simple I/O drivers for the devices built into the motherboard. Without the low level bootstrap code to initialize the CPU and system hardware there would be no way of loading the high level bootstrap code from disk that will load the OS. The simple I/O drivers will be used by the low level bootstrap code, the high level bootstrap code, and also initially by the OS (until it installs its own I/O drivers).
Did it hurt bootstrap bill when he had to whip his son?
Yes probably but if the boson would have done it, Will would have received deeper wounds.
