Is a computer much use without an operating system?
No, It is a paperweight. An operating system system is required to perform calculations or display graphics. Any media available to the BIOS that contains a boot image is sufficient, such as USB thumb drive/external hard drive, internal hard drive, carom, floppy disk, network *PXE boot, PCoIP zero client.
What happens if you cable a PATA hard drive incorrectly?
The system will not be able to communicate with that hard drive.
What happens if you disconnect the power supply cord to the hard drive?
If you disconnect the power cord to the hard drive, when you turn the computer back on, the hard drive will not be operational. Additionally, if you leave the IDE (or SATA) cable connected when the power cable is disconnected, the system will take longer to POST because it will try to identify the device connected, but it will not be able to. If it is the only hard drive you have in your system, the computer won't boot up because your operating system is on the hard drive.
What are the attributes of an entreprenuer?
The characteristics required to start and grow a business are very different from those required to lead an established one. Start-up require unique mindsets and drive.

What writes sector markings to a hard drive?

Dose partitioning a hard drive make it work harder or faster?
Neither. Partitioning is used for the arrangement of data on the drive. Having more partitions neither makes the drive faster nor impairs its functionality.
How does firmware differ from a software program stored on a hard drive?
because firmware can never be erased because firmware can never be erased
How many volumes can a hardrive have?
A hard drive can have multiple volumes. The number of volumes that can be created on a hard drive depends on the operating system and the partitioning scheme being used. Typically, a hard drive can have several partitions or volumes.
What components in a raid storage system contain firmware?

What type of hard drive does not require partitioning?

What is system partitioning?
System partitioning is a computing term for disk partitions of a hard disk drive that must exist and be properly configured for a system to operate correctly. The system partition refers to the disk volume containing hardware specific files needed to boot Windows (NTLDR, BOOT.INI, and so on). On Intel x86-based machines, it must be a primary partition that has been marked active. On x86 machines, this is always drive 0, the drive the system BIOS searches during system boot for the operating system.The partitons are generally on the same hard disk but the OSs regard them as separate.
What needs to be done after replacing a hard drive?
Generally, you would need to set up the drive. It starts with partitioning the drive, putting a file-system on it, and then putting data on it, perhaps data recovered from the old drive or the backups. It is was the primary drive, the OS would need to be installed.
Is partitioning same as fragmentation?
No. Partitioning is the process of creating a section of a hard drive that is read as a separate drive by the computer (For example, if you have a 100GB C drive, you can split that into a 70GB C drive and a 30GB D drive). Fragmentation is the process overtime where the files on a hard drive become disorganized and can eventually affect the performance of the computer.
What is the process called when you are assigning part or all of the drive for use by the computer?
Partitioning
