A
Autostart
"Autostart" is a Microsoft Windows function which allows an automatic
program start along with system boot. A folder exists, where a list of programs
or processes is found, which are executed when Windows is started or a login
takes place. Some of the processes and programs are necessary for Windows,
while others are optional.
B
Backup
Copying data to a different storage medium to secure this data is called
backing up, or creating a backup. If necessary, these backups can be restored
using special programs/functions.
Backup disc
Copying of files to a different file storage medium to secure these files is called
backing up, or creating a backup.
Blue screen
The blue screen is a critical Windows error message. It is issued only when
significant errors for the computer's function are found in the core, drivers or
hardware. Because the errors are not caused by programs, which may be
simply shut down, the computer has to be restarted.
Blu-ray
Since early 2008, Blu-ray discs are viewed as successors to DVDs and offer
especially high storage capacity of up to 27 GB in a single layer (double-layer
up to 54 GB) with very few write errors. The high storage capacity of the
Blu-ray disc suits high definition videos and slideshows in high quality perfectly,
since these are characterized by large file sizes (depending on material
approximately 40 MB/sec) and very high memory use.
The term Blu-ray Disc comes from the blue color of the laser. Because a color
cannot be registered as a trademark, the letter "e" was removed from the word
"blue".
boot-capable
Storage devices are boot-capable if they feature a sector that helps load an
operating system.
