Question 2/203

Chris, a digital forensics expert, is investigating a compromised Windows system using the BIOS- MBR boot method. Upon reviewing the system's boot process, he confirms that the Power-On Self-Test (POST) has successfully completed. The BIOS has checked the hardware and verified the integrity of essential system components like the CPU, memory, and storage devices. After this, the BIOS loads the Master Boot Record (MBR) from the bootable device.
At this point in the process, the system's boot manager is expected to take over. The boot manager, located on the MBR, is responsible for locating and triggering the appropriate boot loader. Chris knows that the boot manager will locate a system file that is integral for starting the Windows operating system. This next step involves loading a critical system file that helps the OS load into memory.
Given that the system is using the BIOS-MBR method, Chris knows that after the BIOS completes POST and the MBR is loaded, the next task is the loading of this essential file, which is key to the boot process. What should Chris expect to happen next in the boot sequence?
