discussion will help you make/ create a bootable disk and make it inside the
nutshell.
The following are important terms to remember, please read them and
keep those terms in mind as you get along this module.
1. Storage Media is a device for recording (storing) information (data).
2. Bootable Media/ Bootable Device is physical media (CD, DVD, USB
flash drive or other removable media supported by a machine BIOS as
a boot device) that boots on any PC-compatible machine. Bootable
media is most often used to:
2.1 recover an operating system that cannot start;
2.2 access and back up the data that has survived in a corrupted
system;
2.3 back up sector-by-sector a disk with an unsupported file system;
and
2.4 hardware or software troubleshooting.
3. The process of booting
3.1 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. Warm Boot vs. Cold Boot
4.1 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 on the computer.
4.2 Warm Boot
To perform warm boot (also called a "soft boot") means to restart
a computer. It is typically initiated from the operating system,
rather than pressing a button on the computer itself.1
A. Introduction to Computer Operating System
1. Operating System (OS)
a. is a software that manages computer resources and provides
programmers/users with an interface used to access those
resources.
b. is a layer of software which takes care of technical aspects of a
computer's operation. It shields the user of the machine from
the low-level details of the machine's operation and provides
frequently needed facilities.
Below is a listing of common operating systems available today:

OPERATING SYSTEM
Microsoft Windows
macOS
Linux
Operating systems for
mobile devices
DETAILS
Microsoft created the Windows Operating
System (OS) in the mid-1980s. 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.
MacOS (previously called OS X) is a line
of operating systems created by Apple. It
comes preloaded on all Macintosh
computers, or Macs. Some of the specific
versions include Mojave (released in
2018), High Sierra (2017),
and Sierra (2016).
Linux is a family of opensource operating systems, which means
they can be modified and distributed by
anyone around the world. This is
different from proprietary software like
Windows, which can only be modified by
the company that owns it. The
advantages of Linux are that it is free,
and there are many
different distributions or versions you
can choose from.
The operating systems we've been talking
about so far were designed to run
on desktop and laptop computers. Mobile
devices such as phones, tablet
computers, and MP3 players are different
from desktop and laptop computers, so
they run operating systems that are
designed specifically for mobile devices.
Examples of mobile operating systems
include Apple iOS and Google Android.

That9s it, now you9ll just have to wait for a couple minutes more and
the Windows Bootable USB Flash Drive should be ready for installing
Windows on your PC.
After a few minutes your Windows Bootable USB flash drive will
be ready for installation. Reboot your PC and set the bootable flash drive as
a first boot priority in the bios settings. Save the bios settings and reboot
once again to continue with the windows installation process.
B. Driver
A driver or device driver is a software program that enables a specific
hardware device to work with a computer's operating system.

Downloaded by dicnhs ict (dicnhs.ict@gmail.com)
lOMoARcPSD|29377537
Drivers may be required for internal components, such as video cards
and optical media drives, as well as external peripherals, such as printers
and monitors. But most modern hardware is "plug and play" meaning the
devices will work without requiring driver installation. However, even if a
hardware device is recognized by the operating system, installing the correct
drivers may provide additional options and functionality for the device.
For example, most mouse and keyboard work automatically when
they are connected to a PC. However, installing the appropriate mouse driver
may allow you to customize the function of each button and adjust the
mouse sensitivity. Some keyboard drivers allow you to assign functions to
specific keys, such as controlling the volume or opening specific
applications.
Driver is the linker of a certain hardware to computer. A hardware
without driver is like a plane without a pilot. It is still a machine but it does
not act like a machine itself.3
1. The following errors may occur if device drivers are not properly
installed.
1.1. If system9s drivers are not installed.
a. No sounds input and output (mic and speaker are not working
properly)
b. Not able to connect to the network
c. Poor video display
d. Manufacturers default software are not possible to use
e. Not able to print, if printer9s driver is not installed
f. And some IO ports are not usable (Ex: sd card reader)
1.2. If add-on devices9 drivers are not installed, including input and
output devices.
a. Devices are not possible to work properly according to its
specificity. For instance, a scanner is not able to scan without
the presence of its required driver.
C. Preparing Driver for Installation
Follow the steps below in order to install drivers using driver pack.
1. Check the installation driver disc attached in a computer.

2. If you don9t have driver disc, try to identify the specificity of a
computer, including its brand name and code then search over the
internet the equivalent needed drivers.
3. If internet connection is not available, make it sure that you prepared
the all in one (AIO) DriverPack Solution app for you to install the
required drivers for installation.
D. Choosing the Right Drivers
Always check the specific required drivers for its equivalent devices.
Moreover, in choosing the correct drivers, you must consider the following:
1. You lose your disc driver attached in your computer / laptop and
you are trying to reformat a laptop. The first thing you need to do
is to obtain its hardware specification, get the specific brand name
and code of your device.
2. Search the code in the internet and find its exact specification and
download the drivers.
3. Every device has an equivalent driver, except those Plug and Play
(PnP) devices which do not require drivers in order to use it.

What I Have Learned
1. A boot device is any piece of hardware that can read or contains the files
required for a computer to start. For example:
a. a hard drive,
b. floppy disk drive,
c. CD-ROM drive,
d. DVD drive, and
e. USB flash drive.
2. The above devices are all considered bootable devices. However, unless
the necessary boot files are stored on the drive, diskette, or disc, the
computer cannot boot from that device.
3. I also have learned how to create a bootable disc or drive.

lOMoARcPSD|29377537
4. The Operating System (OS) is the most important program that runs on a
computer. Every general-purpose computer must have an operating
system to run other programs and applications. Computer operating
systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from
the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files
and directories on the storage drives, and controlling peripheral devices,
such as printers.
What I Can Do
In the discussion part above, you have been given an example on how
to create a windows 7 bootable drive. This time, you will create a Windows
Server R2 2008 bootable flash drive using Rufus with the flashdrive you
have set aside earlier. You can ask a copy from your teacher for the ISO file
of the said Windows version. Use an empty flash drive for the installation of
bootable files. You will be graded according to the following rubrics. You can
get a score as much as 60 points in this performance task. Also, create a log
as given in What9s New part of this module. Good luck!
