Booting Summary Booting the system occurs when the power to a computer is first turned on, or when the power is turned off and then back on again, in order to facilitate the loading of a program, or to clear volatile memory in order to remedy a problem. The boot process is considered complete when the computer is ready to interact with the user or the operating system is capable of running ordinary applications. If there is no active partition or the active partition's boot sector is invalid, the MBR may load a secondary boot loader and pass control to it and this secondary boot loader will select a partition (often via user input) and load its boot sector, which usually loads the corresponding operating system Kernel. www.bookrags.com /Booting   (2080 words)
