Bootloader: Works, Overview & Second-stage boot loader

A bootloader, also spelled as boot loader or called bootstrap loader, is a computer program that is responsible for booting a computer and booting an operating system. If it also provides an interactive menu with multiple boot choices then it is often called a boot manager.
