Boot process tutorial

[GOSCO]

Can anyone recommend a good resource that clearly discusses and explains the boot process BIOS > MBR > BOOT LOAD etc etc. I have found a few articles on the web but information seems fragmented.

Maybe a book that deals with the subject or something like a CBT video I can purchase.

Thanks in advance
Andy

UEFI and BIOS would have slightly different early routines; each Windows version is slightly different: a couple of links about XP and a layout of the Vista (should be very similar to W7) boot load order here:

I've not seen anything for W8>10 yet.
