Detailed explanation-1: -Booting is the process which is initiated once the computer system starts and executes the small set of instructions present in the ROM which will set up system hardware by testing them and load the operating system so that the computer system can carry out further tasks.
Detailed explanation-2: -In computing, booting is the process of starting a computer as initiated via hardware such as a button or by a software command. After it is switched on, a computer’s central processing unit (CPU) has no software in its main memory, so some process must load software into memory before it can be executed.
Detailed explanation-3: -A cold boot is usually set in motion by pressing a computer’s power button. A computer doing a cold boot is already in a shutdown state, wherein no hardware, software, network or peripheral operations are occurring.
