 LESSON

BOOTING may be a start-up sequence that starts the Operating System of a

computer when it's turned on. A boot sequence means where the CPU completes the
original series of operations when turned on.
Every computer has a boot sequence. A machine must load an OS into the central
memory or random access memory (RAM) of the device to boot (as a verb; often, "to
wake up"). Once the OS is loaded (and, for instance, on a PC, you see the initial
Windows or Mac desktop screen), it's ready for users to run applications.

A common use of a bootable USB flash drive is to use it else into Windows. Booting
from removable media like a USB drive allows you to perform diagnostics on a
computer that's having trouble booting from the disk drive.

Difference between Cold Booting and Warm Booting

 A Cold boot normally does nothing but resets the hardware completely, and
reloads the operating system.
 A Warm boot, on the other hand, refers to the boot process in which a system
regains its initial state without hampering the power source.
Having a bootable USB is extremely essential, especially if you're a Netbook user.
Using bootable USB to install an operating system (OS) not only makes the
installation faster but also saves a DVD. Creating or using a USB drive to put in
Windows operating systems are extremely easy if you follow the below-mentioned
steps.

STEPS IN CREATING BOOTABLE FLASH DRIVE

Step 1. Attach the flash drive (preferably 4GB+) stick to the device and back up all
of the USB data as we format the USB to make it bootable.

Step 2. Enable the elevated Prompt button. To do so, type the search field in CMD
in the Start menu and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Alternatively, move to Begin > All
programs > Accessories > right-click Command Prompt and pick Execute as
Administrator

Step 3. Start. When the Prompt button opens enter the button: DISKPART and press
enter.

Step 4. DISK the Set and click enter. When you enter the command LIST DISK it will
show your USB drive disk number. In the image below my USB drive number is Disk
1. * You need to enter all the commands below one by one in this stage, and click
enter. Because these are self-explanatory instructions, You can infer quickly what
such orders are doing.
Step 5. SELECT DISK # (Replace # “1” with your disk number)
Step 6. CLEAN
Step 7. CREATE PART PRI
Step 8. LIST PART
Step 9. SELECT PARTITION # “1”
Step 10. format fs=ntfs quick (Format process may take few seconds)
Step 11. Active
Step 12. EXIT
