Generally it's called "booting up" the system. It's also how we got the term "Rebooting". It can also be called "mounting" however this term generally applies more to specific hardware devices.
The process of loading operating system software into a computer's main memory from disk begins when the computer is powered on and the BIOS or firmware performs a power-on self-test (POST). Afterward, it locates the bootloader on the bootable disk, which is responsible for loading the operating system. The bootloader reads the operating system files from the disk and transfers them into the main memory (RAM). Once loaded, the operating system initializes hardware components and prepares the system for user interaction.
A computer boot process is the procedure of starting a computer from scratch, culminating in the loading of and operating system.

Booting is the act of switching on the computer and loading the operating system. This process is referred to as cold booting
The process of loading an operating system into a computer's memory is called booting. During booting, the computer's firmware, typically the BIOS or UEFI, initializes hardware components and locates the operating system stored on a storage device. It then loads the OS into RAM, allowing the system to start and run applications. This process can be broken down into several stages, including POST (Power-On Self-Test) and the loading of the bootloader.
Booting is the process a computer fallows by loading all necessary files to run an operating system.
The term "bootstrap" in relation to the computer booting process refers to the initial sequence of operations that a computer performs when it is powered on or restarted. It involves loading the operating system into memory from a storage device, such as a hard drive or SSD. The term originates from the phrase "pulling oneself up by one's bootstraps," illustrating how the system initializes itself without external help. The process typically starts with the BIOS or UEFI firmware executing a series of checks and loading the bootloader, which then loads the operating system.
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.
The booting process of an operating system is the sequence of events that occurs when a computer is powered on or restarted, leading to the loading of the operating system into memory. It begins with the BIOS or UEFI firmware performing hardware checks and initializing system components, followed by locating and loading the bootloader from the designated boot device. The bootloader then loads the operating system kernel into memory, which initializes system services, drivers, and user interfaces, ultimately preparing the system for user interaction. This entire process ensures that the hardware and software are ready for operation.
The booting process is the sequence of events that occurs when a computer is powered on, leading to the loading of the operating system. The steps include: (1) the BIOS/UEFI firmware performs a Power-On Self Test (POST) to check hardware functionality; (2) the firmware locates the boot device (like a hard drive or SSD) and loads the bootloader; (3) the bootloader initializes the operating system kernel; and (4) the operating system takes over, completing the boot process and loading user interfaces and services.
operating system is not a loading, When is trun on system(press the power button). first of checked all the hardware devices,for exmple hard disk,ram,rom and etc. When the all devices dected process further. Jsb
