It also contains all the operating system files. This partition usually exists with a system partition as both of them instruct the computer where to look and which files to load when a user turns laptop.
If the user only has one operating system in his PC, the boot and system partition may be the same region. However, if he has several operating systems, he should be familiar with the concept to differentiate which one is the boot partition and which one is the system partition. A boot partition allows a user to install multiple operating systems in his computer without any of them affecting the usage and functionality of another.
Simply put, the operating systems installed are independent of each other. It is in the sole discretion of the user to decide which operating system he wants to use and load. For instance, he may have both a Windows Vista and Windows 8 operating systems installed on his computer. If he wishes to use his Windows Vista, he can just boot his computer in Windows Vista mode, and the computer screen will appear as Windows Vista.
The same idea applies if he will be booting up the Windows 8 operating system. As a general note, the user will need to install the earliest operating system version first before installing another one. In the case mentioned above, he should be fixing the Windows Vista first if it is not yet set up in his computer , then create a new partition.
Afterward, he needs to install Windows 8.
