Booting process in MS-Windows and Linux

MS-Windows

When the operating system gets started there a few steps take place

1.When you turn on your computer


2.First, the BIOS is initialized. Run POST (Power On Self Test) to make
sure all hardware is working properly.
3. POST routine is part of the device's pre-boot sequence and only if it
completes successfully will the bootstrap loader code be called to
create the bootmgr file. Load the operating system.
4.Next, access the MBR (Master Boot Record). ...
5.then Next is the bootloader (boot.ini). ...
6.then full kernel is loaded with a login screen.

1.bios is loaded

2.POST is completed

Linux Loader
Grand Unified Bootloader
4.Kernel
5.init
6.Run Levels

1.
BIOS: This is the first one that loads as soon as you turn on your
machine.
2. Currently, the MBR is unaware of the concept of filesystems and
requires a bootloader with filesystem drivers for each supported
filesystem, so the kernel cannot be loaded directly. This allows the
bootloader itself to recognize and call it.
3.this can be considered as a heart of the computer
4. the system is executed to boot into the run level as specified
in
5. On the basis of run level being selected, the infit process then executes
start-up scripts located in subdirectories of the directory.
6.different level runs select and gets executed finally Linux starts

System MBR GRUB


startup BIOS Bootloader
