Probability is the mathematics of chance that describes the likelihood of events. It can be written as a fraction, decimal, percent, or ratio between 0 and 1. There are three types of probability: theoretical, experimental, and subjective. Conditional probability considers the probability of one event occurring given that another event has occurred and restricts the sample space. The multiplication rule states that if events are independent, the probability they both occur is the product of their individual probabilities.

Modern Personal ComputerBoot up ProcessThe boot up process i.docxraju957290
Modern Personal Computer
Boot up Process
The boot up process is necessary for Windows as the hardware does not know where the Operating system is stored. There has to be a simple yet powerful program which loads the kernel in the main memory and executes it. This program in Windows is known as the Bootstrap Loader.
The Windows boot up process comprises of the following procedures:
· The Power-On Self-Test Phase:
Firstly a self-test is performed by the power supply to ensure that the volume and current levels are correct before the Power Good signal is sent to the processor. As soon as this stage is cleared, the microprocessor triggers the BIOS to perform a series of operations.
· BIOS ROM Phase:
BIOS first carry out the P.O.S.T that performs and verifies all initial hardware checks. After this, the hardware' firmware will individually carry out its own diagnostic test such as S.M.A.R.T.
The system will now attempt to determine the sequence of devices to load based on the settings stored in the BIOS to start the operating system. It will start by reading from the first boot up device which usually is the Floppy disk. If the floppy drive does not contain a diskette, it bypasses the first boot up device and detects the second device, which is usually the hard disk. It'll then start by reading the boot code instructions located in the master boot record and copies all execution into the memory when the instructions are validated and no errors are found.
· Boot Loader Phase
Control is then passed on to the partition loader code which accesses the partition table to identify the primary partition, extended partitions and active partition which is needed to determine the file system and locate the operating system loader file which will call upon the boot.ini file which is located at the root directory to determine the location and entries of the operating system boot partition. At this point in time, the boot up menu is displayed on the screen to allow you to select an operating system to start.
NTLDR will pass all information from the Windows registry and Boot.ini file into the next phase.
· Operating System Configuration Phase
Next step is to load the kernel, hardware abstraction layer and registry information.
After this is completed, the control is passed over to the DOS based program which collects and configures all installed hardware devices such as the video adapters and communication ports.
It searches for hardware profiles information and load the essential software drivers to control the hardware devices.
· Security & Logon Phase
Lastly, Ntoskrnl.exe will start up Winlogon.exe which triggers the Lsass.exe or Local Security Administration which is the logon dialog interface that prompts you to select your user profile and verifies your necessary credentials before you are transferred to the Windows desktop.
Scheduling Strategies:
· Windows has 6 process classes with 7 priorities within each class
· Process Classes included:
1. Idle
2. ...

Virtual Machine Project
UNIT 5 PROJECT
2. PAGE 1

For this project, we were tasked with getting a virtualization system, a guest
operating system from either Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista Business,
or Windows 7 Professional, either 32 or 64-bit, properly setup the virtual machine,
properly install and configure the guest operating system, then provide an analysis
and a screenshot showing success of the work.
I chose to use VMware’s Workstation 10.0.1 (Build Version 1379776) for the
virtualization software (VMware, Inc., 2013). I chose Windows 7 Professional x64-
bit Service Pack 1 for the guest operating system in this project (Microsoft
Corporation, 2014). The host operating system that I operate is Windows 8.1
Professional x64-bit (English).
For host system hardware, I am currently configured with a previously assembled
rig from HP, called the ENVY h8-1417c (Hewlett-Packard Development Company,
L.P., 2014). It has an Intel Z75 LGA1155 uATX motherboard by Pegatron called the
IPMMB-FM (Formosa). It uses a quad-core Intel Core i7 3770 3.4 GHz CPU. It has
12GB of DDR3-1600 SDRAM running at PC3-12800 MB/s with a CAS of 9. It uses a
2TB (1.80TB) SATA 7,200 RPM HDD. It has an integrated wireless NIC and an
integratedLAN NIC: Bluetooth4.0, Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11 b/g/n single-band (2.4
GHz), 1 by 1 with 2 embedded dual-band antennas and 1000BASE-T Ethernet LAN
provided by Atheros. It uses a 460W, multiple voltage, internal ATX PSU. It has a
Mid-size ATX black exterior plastic and aluminum interior case.
For media, it uses an NVidia GeForce GT 630 with 2GB of GDDR3 128-bit VRAM
with a single DVI-linked Dell LED 23” Monitor. It has, dynamically running, Intel’s
GMAHD 4000 integrated graphics chipset. It has an integrated 7.1 channel HD and
Beats audio card. It has a SuperMulti DVD-R/RW x16W/x12R optical drive provided
by HP. A multimedia card reader that covers SD, mini-SD, SDHC, MS, Magic Gate,
CFI/CFII, IBM MD, SM, and Transflash. It has 4 USB 3.0 and 6 USB 2.0 ports. It has
a two integrated DVI-I and DVI-D ports. Full audio complement including S/PDIF
and 7.1 channel audio ports.
For network media, I currently use the Comcast/XFinity Wireless Gateway 1st
Generation, Third Version for my router/cable modem (Comcast, 2014). It is
currently setup on a WPA2-TIPA encryption on dynamic channel selection using
dual-band and all WAP with 3 embedded antennas. I use Windows Firewall but I’ll
upgrading to Comodo Firewall or ZoneAlarm Personal Firewall eventually. I only
use my iPad and my Windows Phone for additional connections to the Gateway.

Once VMware Workstation 10 was installed properly and setup, I clicked on Create
a New Virtual Machine. Once the New Virtual Machine dialog box appeared, I
selected Custom as I wanted to specify most parameters myself. Compatibility was
set to current version. As I have the ISO for the guest OS set up on my virtual Blu-
Ray Drive, under Drive J:, I chose to install it via that method. Moving onto the Easy
Install section was relatively simple by putting in the Key, the type of OS (in this
case the Windows 7 Professional), then putting in my user account information.
I named the virtual machine: Win7x64 GUMSB Unit 5 Project and saved it to my
custom Education folder that I use for GUMSB studies. In Processor Configuration
I chose 1 processor with4 cores to virtualizemyownCPU. In Memory Configuration
I chose 4,096 (4GB) of RAM allocated for the VM. In Network Configuration I chose
bridged networking to simulate the best solution for virtual network design. In I/O
Controller Configuration I chose the default setting of LSI Logic SAS. I set the Disk
Type to SCSI configuration.
I chose to create a New Virtual Disk and chose to allocate 100.0 GB towards disk
space on a single file. I chose to stick with the default file name for the disk file:
Win7x64 GUMSB Unit 5 Project.vmdk. At the Ready to Create Virtual Machine
dialogboxpage, I reviewedthehardwareconfiguration and then proceeded tofinish
creation. I chose NOT to start the VM after creation so that I could setup the
advanced parameters of the VM.
I waited about 5 minutes for the creation and installation to finish before I could get
to first ‘startup’ of the system. Once the creation was complete, I started up the
Settings dialog box and went into Options. From Options, I set up General to make
sure the virtual keyboard is properly setup. I moved from General to Power and
checked all power options except Enter Full Screen Mode after Powering On. I did
not customize Power Control buttons. I kept Folder Sharing disabled. I set up a new
Snapshot every time I power off the VM. I kept AutoProtect disabled. I kept the
default settings for Guest Isolation. I chose to enable Encryption on the VM.
Encryption took approximately 10 minutes to complete. I did not enable
Restrictions. I set VMware to synchronize guest OS time with host OS time and did
not change updatesettings. I did notchange VNC Connections, Unity orApplication
View. AutoLogin is not available due to the configuration of the VM. In Advanced I
only changed logging to be done periodically.
Once I was done setting up Options, I started up the VM for the first time. Up to
now, the process has taken approximately 2 and a half hours.

During this entire installation, there has been a bar at the bottom of the VM screen
which has shown the process from Easy Install toinstallingthe VMwareTools. After
it is complete, the bar disappears. Once the VM started, it automatically loaded the
Windows basic kernel and OS files to begin installing the OS. Once main system
files were loaded, the system went into installation mode and began installing the
OS. A window appeared that detailed the installation progress, step by step. Once
installation was nearly done, the system rebooted properly and then engaged the
next stage of the OS installation by starting services and finishing registry updates.
After another restart for final installation, the system prepared to detect system
hardware and ready the OS for installing the internal virtual VMware tools while
“first use” of the OS begins.
The OS logins into the desktop and shows VMware tools being installed, then
activates the Windows Network Setup Wizard. I activate it as a Home Network and
disable all sharing features. Once VMware Tools is done installing on the VM and
network settings have been finalized, the system reboots automatically. Now that
everything is done, the system is now booted into the main login screen, allowing
me to make adjustments from here or log into the OS. So far, everything has
functioned perfectly. The installation and setup took approximately one hour.
I put in my password and login to the desktop. Immediately, my OS connected to
the network, enabled the sound device, and started up main services and processes.
The VM response, thus far, has been efficient, quick and has inconsequential lag.
Once in, I noticed the Action Center asking me for attention and thus I opened it. I
turned off Windows Backup and the notifications for it. I then activated the
Windows Experience Index and received a 5.7 base score with the maximum score
being 7.5 for Memory.
While I was in the middle of the WEI, Windows Update automatically detected
updates and immediately started downloading them. I postponed the restart to
configure more settings so that once I was done, I would only have to restart once
or twice instead of many times. I opened IE8 and finalized the first use settings by
using the recommended features. After finalizing this, I was brought to the main
Windows website and asked to upgrade to IE9. I closed IE and then opened up the
Screen Resolution window to change it from 1024 by 768 to 1440 by 900.
I opened the Personalization window and set it at Windows Basic, which
dramatically increased the performance of the VM to near host OS levels. I cleaned
up the Start Menu by getting rid of all the typical shortcuts and listing.
5. 4
I proceeded to change the Taskbar and Start Menu settings to be more efficient and
more to my personal preference. I went into Control Panel and proceeded to start
switching settings around. My first stop: Administrative Tools and then System
Configuration to properly setup the startup cycle. Then I proceeded to check on the
condition of Windows Firewall. So far, everything looked great. I added the CPU
Meter gadget to keep an eye on my performance as I worked. I setup my AutoPlay
settings for all media and files. I proceeded from there to Folder Options: turned on
hidden files/folders and turned on all indexing options that increased speed and
efficiency in searching.
Under Indexing Options, I changed it so that Users only includes my account and
the AppData folder and added the Program Files x86 folder. I changed the Internet
Options so it was more secure by adding Medium-High to all security levels. I then
changed Privacy settings to Medium-High. I then added several other advanced
features to increase the overall security of IE. After such, I went through several
other areas of the Control Panel to enhance the overall performance and security of
the VM.
I finallyperformeda Windows Defender definitions update and a Quick Scan on the
system before performing the first restart since I logged in. After a good restart, I
ran Windows Update a few times to make sure the system was as up to date as
possible. I ended up downloading over half a gigabyte of updates. After a few more
updates and restarts, eventually the system seems to be as smooth as possible. Only
thing left to do were items that have nothing to do with the purpose of this project.
I learned much from this project, but most of all the lessons I have earned is the
understanding of how important, fun, exciting, and especially inexpensive and
efficient it is to run many different aspects of a business through a virtual machine.
Virtualization is something that could easily change so many aspects of industries
outside of the IT industry, which I consider to be extremely important for the future
of our world.
The following images are screen captures of specific areas of the OS which clearly
show it is functioning.
