Booting Basics

We all just love to use computer for our innumerable needs!! 

                                                                       But when the programs in it start malfunctioning, then?  If machine suddenly gets restarted again and again while we are playing some interesting games or doing some important applications, then?

                                                                       We satisfy our minds by either correcting the wrongs or by installing a good Anti Virus for protecting it against other's (virus group) domination. If by this the problems get solved then its Ok. But if not, then? What to do?

                                                                       If you have failed by attempting all ways you know and ultimately conclude that the Boot Sector is actually attacked by Trojans or some dangerous infinately replicating viruses or you conclude that your hard disk's condition is not good due to sector or cluster's problem and there is a need of changing the parent partition, then what?

                                                                         Will you consult an Hardware Technician for recovering by spending certain sum of money? But if the problem occus at an abnormal time when nobody is available, then what? Will you close your eyes and pray to god to help or try to do it by yourself?
 
                                                                       If you are in the second option then I may help you in learning some Pre-setup concepts which are very very important. Just imagine that you are the doctor of your own machine who is available any time when you uses your computer!!

So let stop giving lectures and let proceed.......................................

There are some problems in machines which require a term you have heard, I think. The term is called 'Formatting'. You may think that it is a hard task. But believe me, it is not. Installing an OS is different in case of different OS. But the Pre-setup preparation before installing an OS though varies but consists of some common operations which can be grasped well if the basic concepts are clear. 
 I have discussed the whole process in a systematic way by two means. One is that you can learn it online by surfing through my site and another is by downloading the whole document and reading it offline by just saving a copy of it in your computer. The choice is yours. But I suggest that you better download the few Kb file and read it thoroughly because incase you can't avail internet, then the second option will help you.
