GPT is part of the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) standard.
Power On Self Test.
Initiates a series of diagnostic tests on essential hardware components.
Processor, memory, storage devices, and other peripherals.
A small amount of non-volatile memory that stores the system's configuration settings.
GPT includes redundancy and backup of the partition table.
Internal storage devices and external portable secondary storage devices.
It manages hardware resources and provides a user interface.
GPT is the default partitioning scheme for modern computers.
A type of primary memory that temporarily stores data.
GPT stands for GUID Partition Table, a modern and advanced partitioning scheme.
A metallic, aluminum or ceramic disk where data can be stored on both sides using magnetic media.
To the Secondary Storage Device.
It reads the magnetic data on the platter and writes data onto the platter.
Temporary storage for data and program code, allowing for quick access by the CPU.
External Storage.
It does not erase when electricity is not available.
Programs designed to perform specific tasks, such as word processors and web browsers.
Because it loses its data when the power is turned off.
It holds the platter and rotates it.
RAM has both read and write facilities, while ROM does not.
Data is fetched from RAM for processing.
Yes, GPT is required for systems that use UEFI for booting.
Non-volatile memory.
Charles Babbage.
To the motherboards.
It sends control signals to all the devices attached to the computer system.
Because it functions according to the given commands.
The specific components are not listed, but they are essential for CPU functionality.
The Adding Machine by Blaise Pascal in 1642.
A mechanical loom using a Punch Card System.
A 32-bit addressing scheme, allowing for a maximum of 2 terabytes of storage space.
It is a fundamental component of firmware that plays a crucial role in the system's startup process and provides a low-level interface between hardware components and the operating system.
The processed data is stored in the Primary Memory as information and sent to the output device.
It performs calculations and executes instructions, often referred to as the brain of the computer.
Devices like HDD and SSD that store data permanently, allowing the CPU to retrieve information when needed.
It is the main circuit board that connects all components, facilitating communication between them.
By a small onboard battery, even when the computer is turned off.
It transmits data to the platter.

Supports only up to four primary partitions or three primary partitions with one extended partition.
Responsible for locating the active partition and initiating the boot process.
CPU Memory.
Acts as a mediator between CPU and Primary Memory.
The operating system and application software.
It moves the head, enabling reading and writing data anywhere on the platter.
It connects the hard disk to power, which is needed for its function.
