A+ OS TECHNOLOGIES

hi,
I happened to do some practice est on A+ OS Technologies. I find controdictor answers from diff practice tests.

for example the boot orde for DOS-

According to some sites, the order is IO.SYS,MSDOS.SYS,COMMAND.COM,CONFIG.SYS,AUTOEXEC.BAT.

According to the others including this one it is

IO.SYS,MSDOS.SYS,CONFIG.SYS,COMMAND.COM,AUTOEXEC.BAT


According to some, you do not need theconfig.sys and auto exec.bat toboot and that config.sys is used only to load drivers and address memory beyond the conventional memory. Once the Config.sys is present with drivers to beloaded, theauto exec.bat tels the OS where to find these drivers.

can somebody tell me which is correct?


I am more confused now than before

thanks

config.sys and autoexec.bat will be looked for during boot up. the files can only be run if they exist. if the computer boots, looks for the files but they don't exist, it will continue to boot normally.
