Objectives
• Understand the
differences between
BIOS and UEFI system
firmware
• Use the system setup
program to configure
basic settings
• Identify appropriate
partition formats and file
systems for installing a
given operating system
1.4 System Setup
40
BIOS and UEFI System Firmware
• BIOS (Basic Input /
Output System)
• UEFI (Unified
Extensible Firmware
Interface)
• System firmware
setup program
o
Press key during boot (Del,
F1, F2, F10)
1.4 System Setup
40
Navigating Setup Programs
1.4 System Setup
41
Configuring Boot Properties
1.4 System Setup
42
Upgrading Firmware
1.4 System Setup
44
Disk Partitions
• Low-level format
o
Tracks and sectors
• Partitioning
o
o
Logically separate storage areas on a hard disk
Master Boot Record versus GUI (Globally Unique Identifier)
Partition Table (GPT) style partitions
• Partitions versus volumes
1.4 System Setup
46
MBR versus GPT
• MBR-style partitioning
o
o
o
o
Up to 4 primary partitions
allowed
• GPT-style partitioning
o
Active partition
o
Extended partition / logical
drives
o
System and boot partition
o
1.4 System Setup
Convert blank disk to GPTstyle
Used when installing 64-bit
Windows to UEFI-based PC
Removes practical limits on
number and size of
partitions
Protective MBR
46
Boot Process
• Power On Self Test (POST)
• BIOS
o
o
o
o
Locate Master Boot Record on
boot device
MBR passes location of boot
sector or Volume Boot Record
(VBR) – the “System Reserved”
partition by default
Boot manager (bootmgr.exe)
loaded and scans Boot
Configuration Data (BCD)
Pass control to boot loader
(winload.exe) in the system root
of the boot partition
• UEFI
o
Read the GUID Partition Table
(GPT) on boot device
o
GPT identifies EFI System
Partition
o
o
Boot manager (bootmgfw.efi)
loaded and scans Boot
Configuration Data (BCD)
Pass control to boot loader
(winload.efi) in the system root
of the boot partition
• Kernel, HAL, and boot drivers loaded
• Kernel initialized and processes started – winlogon
waits for user to authenticate
1.4 System Setup
47
Linux Bootloaders
• GRUB (Grand Unified Bootloader)
• LILO (Linux Loader)
1.4 System Setup
48
File System Choices
• NTFS (Windows)
• FAT / FAT32
• *nix File Systems
o
ext
o
ReiserFS
o
UFS
• ZFS
• Virtual Machine File
System (VMFS)
1.4 System Setup
48
NTFS (New Technology File System)
• Windows must be installed to an NTFS partition
• 64-bit addressing
• Features
o
Recovery (journaling)
o
Security (Discretionary Access Control, Encryption, Quotas)
o
Compression
o
Indexing
o
Dynamic Disks
o
Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS)
o
Mount points
1.4 System Setup
48
FAT / FAT32
• FAT (File Allocation Table)
o
16-bit and 32-bit addressing
o
FAT max 4 GB
o
FAT32 max 32 GB
o
Supported by most OS
1.4 System Setup
49
Other File System Choices
• ext
o
Mainstream Linux choice
o
ext2 – legacy version
o
ext3 – supports journaling
o
ext4 – performance enhancements
• ReiserFS
o
Alternative Linux file system
• UNIX File System (UFS)
o
Default for UNIX
o
Proprietary extensions
• ZFS
o
Associated with Solaris but available for other UNIX and Linux distributions
• Virtual Machine File System (VMFS)
o
Used with vmware’s vSphere virtualization suite
