Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After the Power-On Self-Test (POST) process is complete, the operating system is loaded into the Random Access Memory (RAM) to be executed by the CPU. ROM is read-only and not used for loading the operating system, while the hard drive stores the OS but does not directly execute it. The optical drive is not used for loading the OS into memory for execution.
