cold booting is simply shutting down the pc.
warm booting is restarting the pc.
Cold booting occurs when the electrical power (the switch button) on the system unit is turned and warm booting occurs when the computer system restart or reset without turning off the power.
COLD BOOT - Booting up from power off condition.WARM BOOT- Restarting the computer WITHOUT turning the power off.http://wiki.answers.com/What_is_the_difference_between_cold_and_warm_booting#ixzz18HVIBp79
The three types of booting are cold booting, warm booting, and network booting. Cold booting involves starting a computer from a powered-off state, while warm booting refers to restarting the computer without turning off the power. Network booting allows a computer to boot from an operating system stored on a network server rather than a local hard drive. Each type serves different purposes in system startup and recovery.
Warm booting is the restarting of a computer
1. Cold Booting 2. Hot Booting
Warm booting refers to when your computer is already on and you do a Restart to the system. This is also called soft booting.
A warm boot, accomplished by pressing the CTRL+ALT+DEL key combination, restarts the computer through the INT19h ROM BIOS routine. This warm-boot procedure usually does not go through the complete boot process; generally, it skips the power-on self test (POST) to save time. In addition, a warm boot frequently fails to reset all adapters in the computer's adapter slots. If you use the Reset button to cold boot the computer, it generally restarts the boot process, including the POST. However, this procedure does not necessarily discontinue power to the motherboard. If the power is not interrupted, the cold boot may fail to reset all adapters in the computer's adapter slots.

Booting is the act of switching on the computer and loading the operating system. This process is referred to as cold booting
Booting is the process of starting a computer and loading the operating system into memory. It can be done in several ways, primarily through cold booting (turning on the computer from a powered-off state) and warm booting (restarting the computer without turning off the power). Additionally, booting can occur from various sources, such as a hard drive, USB drive, or network, depending on the system configuration.

Warm booting refers to the process of restarting a computer without turning off the power. This is typically done by using the operating system's restart option or by pressing a specific key combination, such as Ctrl + Alt + Delete. During a warm boot, the system reloads the operating system and clears the memory, but it retains power to the hardware components, allowing for a quicker restart compared to a cold boot, where the computer is completely powered off and then turned back on. Warm booting is often used to apply updates or resolve minor software issues without the need for a full shutdown.
