The operating system is an important program that runs on a computer. Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system has even greater responsibilities and powers. It is like a traffic cop -- it makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. a.

It is including the master boot record (MBR), which is being accessed throughout the boot sequence. The boot sector is typically located at the very beginning of a disk, before the first partition. It includes the partition map, which is identifying all the partitions on the disk. It also defines which partition contains the startup data (such as the operating system). This lets the computer know which partition to access when the machine is starting up. Therefore, if a disk's boot sector becomes corrupted or contains invalid data, the computer may not be able to start up from the disk. If this happens, you should run a disk utility or antivirus program to try and fix the problem. a. Subraya los verbos que tiene la forma -ING-.
