This stores the data which tells the computer how to load the operating system when it is switched off or rebooted?

ROM ROM is an acronym for Read Only Memory. The advantage of ROM is that its contents do not evaporate when the power is switched off. Therefore the program which needs to execute when the computer is first switched on is stored in a ROM chip on the computer's motherboard. Once the program stored in the ROM chip has finished initialising the hardware, it moves the head of the hard disk to track 0, reads the first sector of track 0 into memory, and then passes control to the short program stored in the first sector of the hard disk. To simplify a bit, it is the responsibility of that program to locate the operating system files on disk, and then begin the process of loading them. hellllllllllllllllllllllllllllo

Why is operating system described as an interrupt driven software?

An operating system is described as an "interrupt-driven software" because basically everything that goes on software-wise is some sort of interrupt to the OS.

All of this happens so quick that we don't notice a difference.

Is there a folder on your computer that holds all the content of your zune in it?

Unless you have specified to save the contents of your zune to your computer, no the contents are not stored on the computer. If at somepoint you stored or copied the contents to your computer and didn't pay attention to where you stored them, the most likely place the computer stored the files (by default) will be in a file called "my documents" and perhaps a sub folder called "my music" If the files are stored to your computer, you would have, at some point, selected an "ok" button to download them to your computer or save them to a file.
