it isn't the same for every single set up, sometimes it doesn't even have it's own partition. if you're just looking for the files themselves, see /boot
There is no such thing as a "Linux 7". Even if there is a Linux distribution trying to market itself as a Windows 7 lookalike, it would be in a lot of legal trouble with Microsoft. As far as the Linux kernel, it's not the sole component responsible in booting. Additionally, the Linux kernel is up to at least 4.13 as of now.
The active partition is the partition which is marked as Active in Index table. the status and locations of partitions are stored in MBR(master boot record). The active status tells the system which partition to boot from. System boots from the partition which contains the Operating System(windows XP, 2003.....). So the partition which contains the Operating System is Active partition and it is the Primary partition. So we can call the active partition as Bootable Partition or Primary Partition.
MSDOS.SYS is the kernel file so it gets executed as the system boots. It is related to kernel..
The Linux boot process can be divided into six steps which are as follows: # Kernel loader loading, setup, and execution: In this step, the bootsect.s file is loaded into the memory by the BIOS. When the bootsect.s file sets up, it loads the rest of the kernel into the memory. # Parameter setup and switch to 32-bit mode: When the kernel has been loaded, the boot.s file sets up a temporary IDT and GDT and handles the switch to 32-bit mode. # Kernel decompression: The head.s file decompresses the kernel. # Kernel setup: After the kernel is decompressed, the real GDT and IDT are created by the head.s (second file). # Kernel and memory initialization (main.c): In this step, the kernel sets up all memory constraints and virtual memory is completely set up. # Init process creation (main.c): In the final step of booting, the init process is created, which switches a Linux computer to different run levels.

c: is that partition of ur harddisk from where ur system boots and d drive is any other partition.
Set the primary partition containing Windows XP to active
Depending on the environment Linux is running in, it doesn't need any partitions. A diskless workstation that boots over a network, a LiveCD, or a floppy disk do not require any partitions.In a typical server or workstation environment, however, one will usually have at least two partitions. One will be the "/" partition in which all files and directories are placed. The other is a swap partition that is used to page data in and out of memory.
There is no scientific measurement for how "fast" an operating system is. You can only compare things like: 1. How fast an operating system boots. The fastest booting desktop distro is probably Mach Boot. 2. How much or how little RAM / processor power the system needs to run. The desktop distro with the lowest system requirements is probably Damn Small Linux. 3. How little space it requires. Tiny Core Linux requires only 10 MB for a very basic desktop system 4. The desktop that can best take advantage of hardware, such as video cards. Foresight Linux is designed to show off the latest Linux desktop environments, all with flashy effects and stuff.
To select which partition the Mac boots from hold down the Option key (alt) when you start up. In System Preferences select Startup Disk and then select the system you want to set as the default startup.
init.Answer:'init' is always process ID 1.
An HP system recovery can be done by following a set of steps. One should first back up all of their files before doing so. Afterwards, reset the computer, press F11. This boots the recovery partition, which guides the user into the HP system recovery process.
Download the ISO images from Linux Mint's website, and burn it to a DVD or a flash drive and boot from it. Once it boots in a live session, on the desktop there is a icon named "Install Linux Mint" and click on it. Then follow the instructions and you'll be on your way to install Linux Mint.
