The booting process of a computer involves several stages. It begins with the Power-On Self-Test (POST), which checks hardware components for proper functionality. After POST, the system looks for the bootloader, a small program in the Master Boot Record (MBR) that locates and loads the operating system's kernel. The kernel initializes hardware, memory management, and system services. Once the kernel is running, user-level processes and services are started, completing the booting process.
