Software Fundamentals

Software consists of computer programs, which are

sequences of instructions for the computer. The process of writing (or
coding) programs is called programming, and individuals who perform
this task are called programmers.

TWO TYPES OF SOFTWARE

1. Systems software - is a set of instructions that serves primarily as an

intermediary between computer hardware and application programs and
may also be directly manipulated by knowledgeable users.

B. Development minutes Categories:

1. Operating System

a. Mobile device operating systems( e.g Embedded

Linux, Windows CE Pocket
PC, Windows Embedded
NT 4.0, The Palm OS)

b. Desktop and notebook computer operating

systems(e.g. Windows,
UNIX, Linux, The
Macintosh, Enterprise
server OS)
2. System Support Programs The second major category of
systems software
3. System utilities-are programs that have been written to
accomplish common tasks such as sorting records,
checking the integrity of diskettes (i.e., amount of storage
available and existence of any damage), and creating
directories and subdirectories
4. System performance monitors are programs that monitor
the processing of jobs on a computer system
5. System security monitors are programs that monitor the
use of a computer system to protect it and its resources
from unauthorized use, fraud, or destruction.

2. Application software - is a set of computer instructions that provide

more specific functionality to a user. That functionality may be broad,
such as general word processing, or narrow, such as an organization’s
payroll program.

SHS COMPUTER SYSTEM SERVICING Q2 Page 1

 1. Proprietary application software addresses a
specific or unique business need
for a company
2. Off-The-Shelf Application Software can be
purchased, leased, or rented from a vendor that
develops programs and sells them to many
organizations.

Software Suites and Other Personal Application Software

Software suites are collections of application software packages that integrate
many functions in one package.

Open Source Software- is software made available in source code form

at no cost to developers.

CREATING INSTALLERS

ISO and IMG Files

WHAT IS AN IMG OR ISO FILE? An IMG or ISO file is a complete

image of physical media such as a CD-ROM, DVD, floppy disk, etc.
that contains all of the files in a particular package.

a. Installation Package: what you purchase from the WebStore

b. Installation Image: the content of the installation package
c. Installation Disk/Media: what you produce from the installation
image through the burning process

BOOTABLE INSTALLATION PACKAGE

The bootable
installation
package
contains a disk
image that is
identical to the
boxed product
that you would

SHS COMPUTER SYSTEM SERVICING Q2 Page 2

 purchase at any
software
retailer. This
image may be
burned directly
to physical
media to
produce a
bootable
installation
DVD. Once
copied to
physical media,
this package
may be used to
install an
Operating
System on any
compatible
hardware, with
or without an
existing
Operating
System
installed.

WHAT DO I DO WITH MY INSTALLATION PACKAGE?

Your installation package contains one of the images identified in the

previous section. To install any software package from an image, the image
itself must first be “mounted” by the Operating System.

This can be accomplished by:

 Burning the image directly to DVD making sure to specify the

source type as “image”. Once the burning of the image is complete,
the physical media can be inserted into the computer and will be
recognized like any other DVD. You must have a writable DVD
drive. See the Creating Bootable DVD Media section below.

 Burning the image directly to a USB thumb drive. This is

particularly useful for those people who have Netbooks or other
computers without a writable DVD drive. See the Creating
Bootable USB Media section below.

Note: Burning the file to a disk as a “data disk” will simply end up with an
.img or .iso file on the disk, which cannot be used for the installation.
Preparing physical media from a bootable installation Image
REQUIREMENTS
To prepare physical media from a bootable installation image, you require the
following:

 Writable DVD drive (DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW)

 Writeable DVD media

SHS COMPUTER SYSTEM SERVICING Q2 Page 3

  CD/DVD Burning Software (Roxio©, Nero ©,
Active@ ISO Burner, CD BurnerXP
Pro, etc.)
 Bootable Installation image
o The image downloaded when selecting the Bootable
Installation Package or that created from the Executable
Installation Package using the instructions in the section
entitled “Creating A Bootable Installation Image from the
Executable Installation Package”

CREATING BOOTABLE DVD MEDIA

The general process for creating bootable DVD media is similar in
all CD/DVD burning software.
If you do not already have an application to burn files onto a
DVD, you will need to download a freeware version. Following are the
steps to download Active@ISO Burner (available through NTFS.com at
http://software.lsoft.net/IsoBurner-Setup.exe). If you choose to use a
different application, follow the steps for that application.

LAUNCHING THE BURNING SOFTWARE

The instructions below use

Windows as an example

To launch the burning software:

1. Double Click to launch the program.

SELECTING THE IMAGE TO BURN To select the image to burn:

1. In the
Active@ISO Burner
window, click on
the locator box as
shown by the red
arrow

2. Find and
select the
IMG file
previously
downloaded.

3. Mode: Track-At-Once Speed:2.0x
