The main function of a DOS is to operate the hard ware to allow a user to utilise the computer.
An operating system is responsible for carrying out a number of functions to enable the user and the software to interact with the hardware.Different functions are essential to operate computer system efficiently.
Disk operating system DOS is a computer operating system using line instruction. For a computer system use disk drive as secondary memory. A Windows system is a computer operating system with Graphic User Interface GUI instead of line instruction. There is no difference between them other than what the vendor or creator wants it to be. A disk operating system is a system based on being run from a disk drive. Typically disk operating systems were single user and single task systems. Predecessors to DOS used cards, magnetic or paper tape as as input, output or main storage device. Successors that relinquished the DOS title had multiprocessing, multiuser, realtime or windowing capabilities and were given other names such as OS/360, RT-11, Windows, multics, unix, linux and more. All modern systems are disk based, unless they use solid state drives (SSD), so all are disk operating systems. Microsoft windows as well as unix, linux, OpenVMS all have a windows interface so they can all be windows operating systems but only microsoft makes that claim.

The Open Home operating system does not exist and no results can be found for it. The main operating systems are Windows, Linux and Mac OS. An open home operating system may be a computer without an operating system.
An operating system is a main program that serve as an interface between the users and the application programs.
The main function of the Master Boot Record (MBR) in a disk-based system is to store the partition table and the boot loader. The partition table provides information about the disk partitions, including their size and location, while the boot loader is responsible for loading the operating system into memory during startup.
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.
in c main function initailly called by operating system.
The main function is the entry point into a program. When the Operating System launches the program the main function gets executed.
Operating system is obviously resides in computer memory which is hard disk. But the main (booting) files are loaded into ROM by bootstrap loader at the time of start of the computer. Have you ever seen your C drive (or the drive which is for system, program files). This drive is on hard disk ... so OPERATING SYSTEM PLACED MAINLY ON HARD DISK...
the primary software that controls our computer is; the disk operating system. (DOS)

The main function of the Master Boot Record (MBR) is to serve as the initial bootstrapping mechanism for a computer's operating system. It is located at the first sector of a storage device and contains the bootloader, which initializes the operating system loading process. Additionally, the MBR includes partitioning information, which defines how the storage space is divided into different partitions for data and operating system use.
DOS is an operating system type, not a computer. There have been many DOSs that ran on many different computers; from mainframes to minicomputers to microcomputers over the decades.DOS = Disk Operating System and encompasses any operating system for any computer using disks for its main filesystem.
