New Phoenix Instant Boot BIOS Starts Loading the OS in Under a Second

W1zzard · Sep 25, 2009

wikipedia says:
In computing, booting (also known as "booting up") is a bootstrapping process that starts operating systems when the user turns on a computer system.

so if i interpret that correctly it would be until execution is handed off to any piece of microsoft windows code? which is probably the MBR boot loader NTLDR/BOOTMGR?

Yes, like I said, handing over ring-0 control over the hardware to the OS is booting. Executing whatever is in the MBR.

wow that is FAST!

My only concern would be getting into the bios settings? If it flashes in an instant how would I be able to hit F1 or delete in time? :wtf:

starts booting = when POST ends
booted = when OS has loaded/usable.

thats the way i always saw it, but i can hazily understand BTA's view, that a program has "booted" the second its started.

this is the way i see it...though sometimes i include "booting" in with "starts posting -----> desktop usable"

Wow, 20 seconds to the desktop? That is awesome. Windows 7 already loads incredibly fast for me

We should have a RAM drive or install the OS into RAM given that RAM is powered all the time.
Combined with this real boot is within 5 seconds.You can start torrenting in 5 secs!

RAM drives(not disks) have been around for years...

Maybe you'll have to hold down DEL and then press the power button.

Gigabyte has some similar thingy, called QuickBoot.

" The second component of Smart QuickBoot is OS QuickBoot. This utility
allows you to power down your PC into Suspend Mode (S3) and Hibernate Mode (S4) at the same time. Putting your PC into S3 and S4 modes is like putting your PC to sleep, allowing you to maintain your data, while at the same time, saving energy. When you power your PC back on, Smart QuickBoot will resume from Suspend Mode in a matter of a few seconds, allowing you to avoid having to reboot the OS. The great thing about OS QuickBoost is that your data is stored in both the memory with S3 state and is also stored in your hard drive for the even deeper S4 state. This means that even if your PC is unplugged or you lose power, when you next boot up your PC, it will resume from S4 automatically, using the data that was stored in your hard drive. "

And that sounds interesting.
