I understand that all know the definition of Operating System(OS). Really speaking OS is also a software comes under System Softwares.

OS acts as a mediator between a user of the sytem and the typical hardwares of the system.With out an OS a computer system is just a mechanical machine , with all the capabilities to compute but unable to do it.

Can anyone say the process of "Booting" in a broad sense?
