It is possible to launch one operating system from another operating system or on top of another operating system?
Depending on the base operating system, yes. In almost all cases, the operating system from which the second one is loaded lacks memory protection, allowing the second operating system to replace the first one in memory. This can be used, for instance, to boot Linux from MS-DOS or classic versions of Mac OS.
The portion of the operating system that remains in main memory during system operation?
The Kernel
How is a memory-resident part of an operating system different from a nonresident part of an system?
A memory-resident part of an operating system is continuously loaded into the computer's memory and ready for immediate use, enabling faster access and better system performance. On the other hand, a nonresident part is stored on the disk and is only loaded into memory when needed, causing delays in accessing the functionality.
What is a computer when it is turned on and the operating system is being loaded?
A computer is loading data when it is turned on and the operating system is being loaded.
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.
What happens during Operating System loading process?
An operating system loads via the memory of a computer. The specific area that gets the operating system to load is called the boot loader.
