Detailed explanation-1: -Concept: Booting: The process of starting or restarting a computer system by loading instructions from a secondary storage device into the computer memory is called booting.
Detailed explanation-2: -Booting is the process which is initiated once the computer system starts and executes small set of instructions present in the ROM which will setup system hardware by testing them and load the operating system so that computer system can carry out further tasks.
Detailed explanation-3: -The process of bringing up the operating system is called booting (originally this was bootstrapping and alluded to the process of pulling yourself up “by your bootstraps").
