An operating system is software that does the following: Provides a file system structure. Provides a means of communicating with computer system hardware. Prevents running programs from interfering with one another. Importance to the PC Technician : Importance to the PC Technician This chapter introduces the function and terminology of computer operating systems. Understanding how an operating system functions is essential to troubleshooting personal computers. Objectives : Objectives Identify various computer operating systems. Explain minimum requirements of an operating system. Describe the three core DOS files. Identify DOS limitations. Objectives : Objectives Explain the differences between the various versions of the Windows operating system. Describe the boot process. Describe the relationship of application software, operating systems, BIOS, and system hardware components. Describe the common characteristics of different operating systems.

It is supported by some operating systems. Program Program Program Program Cooperative Multitasking : Cooperative Multitasking With cooperative multitasking, one program dominates control of the operating system. A program will allow another program to run while it remains idle. Preemptive Multitasking : Program Program Program Program Preemptive Multitasking Preemptive multitasking allows two or more programs to share control of the operating system. Also called time slicing. Threading : Threading Running multiple threads at the same time via multiple CPUs. Program Thread User Interface : User Interface Text line command.

File Structure : File Structure Subdirectory Directory Root directory Pathname File File Allocation Table (FAT) : File Allocation Table (FAT) A file allocation table is used in an operating system to keep track of file locations on a disk. Examples of file allocation tables are FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, VFAT, HPFS, and NTFS. Common OS Terminology : Common OS Terminology Configuration file. Application software. Drivers. Software patches. Click each link for details. Configuration File : Configuration File A configuration file is a file that contains information about the system hardware and file. Examples of configuration file information are the amount of system memory and type of video adapter used in the computer. Typical Configuration Files : Typical Configuration Files Application Software : Application Software Application software is also called end-user software. Designed for a specific purpose, such as creating a database, spreadsheet, or document. Relies on the OS to communicate with the computer. Drivers : Drivers Drivers are software that enable proper communication between the PC and peripherals. MS-DOS system driver files have a .sys extension. Windows drivers have a .drv extension. Windows stores many drivers in cabinet files. Software Patches : Software Patches Designed for the OS and application programs. Used to fix bugs. Review : Review Describe three functions of an operating system. Provides a file system structure. Provides a means of communicating with computer system hardware. Prevents running programs from interfering with one another.
