What is considered a normal boot sequence?

A. BIOS, PC startup, identify boot device, load operating system
B. PC startup, BIOS, identify boot device, load operating system
C. PC startup, identify boot device, BIOS, load operating system
D. Load operating system, PC startup, BIOS, identify boot device

Answer :

The correct boot sequence starts with the BIOS, followed by PC startup, identifying the boot device, and then loading the operating system. Option a is the answer.

The normal boot sequence for a computer is as follows:

  1. The Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) initializes the system hardware.
  2. Post BIOS initialization, the PC startup process begins.
  3. The BIOS identifies the boot device (such as a hard drive, SSD, CD/DVD, USB drive).
  4. Finally, the operating system is loaded from the identified boot device.

Given the options you've provided, the correct boot sequence is therefore: a) BIOS, PC startup, identify boot device, load operating system.
