What is a Sector?
"A sector is a section of the track on a drive platter whose size is determined by the type of formatting selected. When used as an address component, sector and location refer to the sequence number of the sector around the track. Typically, one sector stores one record of data. The number of sectors per track is dependent on the system type, the controller capabilities, and the drive encoding method and interface. A bad sector is an area on the platter that has become inaccessible or unable to hold data.

What is Bios?
Bios is an acronym for Basic Input-Output System. When the system is turned on, the computer activates the BIOS to test all its components and to see what kind of computer it is. It will then check for a system disk. Once that is detected, it will seek the operating system on the hard disk and finish the boot process.
