Editor's Notes

  1. We are going to review the simple things of how the boot process works and what is actually happening with the box, then review how a hard disk drive is setup and how it works, then we will begin to get into how the DOS operating system works. In a later sessions we will be reviewing DOS commands and what we can do with them.
