Lesson
1
Bootable Devices
The operating system is a system software commonly simplified as “OS”. An
operating system is the most important software that runs on a computer. It manages
the computer’s memory, processes, and all its software and hardware. It also allows
you to communicate with the computer without knowing how to speak the
computer’s “language.” Without an operating system, a computer is useless.
Installation media (a USB flash drive or DVD) to install a new copy of Windows,
perform a clean installation or reinstall Windows.
What is It
The term boot comes from the idea of lifting oneself by one's own bootstraps:
the computer contains a tiny program (bootstrap loader) which will load and run a
program found on a boot device.
4
PROCESS OF BOOTING
Cold Boot
To perform a cold boot (also called a "hard boot") means to start up a
computer that is turned off. It is typically performed by pressing the power button of
the computer.
Warm Boot
Computer’s operating system (OS) manages all the software and hardware on
the computer. Most of the time, there are several different computer programs
running at the same time, and they all need to access your computer’s central
processing unit (CPU), memory, and storage. The operating system coordinates all of
this to make sure each program gets what it needs.
How OS Works
5
TYPES OF OPERATING SYSTEMS
Operating systems usually come preloaded on any computer that you buy.
Most people use the operating system that comes with their computer, but it is
possible to upgrade or even change operating systems.
The three most common operating systems for personal computers are Microsoft
Windows, Apple Mac OS X, and Linux.
Each operating system’s GUI has a different look and feel, so if you switch to
a different operating system it may seem unfamiliar at first. However, modern
operating system is designed to be easy to use, and most of the basic are the same.
6
Before GUIs, computers had a command-line interface, which meant the user
had to type every single command to the computer, and the computer would only
display text.
Microsoft created the Windows operating system in the mid-1980s. Over the
years, there have been many different versions of Windows, but the most recent ones
are Windows 10 (released in 2015), Windows 8 (2012), Windows 7 (2009), and
Windows Vista (2007). Windows comes pre-loaded on most new PCs, which helps to
make it the most popular operating system in the world.
Small portable computing devices such as Netbooks and MIDs (Mobile Internet
Devices) offer great mobility, but they lack optical drives (CD/DVD). An optical drive
is important when you need to install software from a CD or DVD. An external optical
drive would work, but you may not want to lug it around with you. So, what is the
solution? Use a USB flash drive as a bootable installation media.
An installer is a piece of software that is used to install software programs on
a system.
7
Materials, tools and equipment
A USB flash drive with good storage capacity; preferably 4GB or more.
Access to a computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7.
A CD or DVD containing .iso image of an operating system.

Important
If your server platform supports Unified
Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI), you
should format the USB flash drive as
FAT32 rather than as NTFS. To format the https://venturebeat.com/2016/01/04/how-to-create-a-
