Describe the booting process of a computer
The booting process of a computer involves the following steps:
- Running BIOS: When the computer is turned on, the CPU looks for the BIOS (Basic Input/output System) program and runs it.
- Running POST (Power-On Self-Test): The system checks hardware components for errors during this step.
- Loading MBR (Master Boot Record) to RAM: The MBR contains information about the partitions and the boot-loader.
- Running the Boot-loader: The boot-loader loads the operating system.
- Running the OS (operating system): the OS kernel gains access to the hardware components
