In computing booting (or booting up) is the initialization of a computerized system. The system can be a computer or a computer appliance. The booting process can be hard after electrical power to the CPU is switched from off to on (in order to diagnose particular hardware errors) or soft when those power-on self-tests (POST) can be avoided. Soft booting can be initiated by hardware such as a button press or by software command.
