1.1. What’s in Computer System?
The Onion Model- layers:
- Hardware (H.W)
- Basic Input Output System (BIOS)
- Software (S.W)
Computer = Hardware + Software
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
Hardware (H.W)
- The Chunky stuff!
- If you can touch it… it’s probably hardware!
- The mother board
+ If we have motherboards…surely there must be fatherboard? Right?
+ What about sonboards, or daughterboards?
- Hard Disk Drives
- Monitors
- Keyboards
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
BIOS
- Basic Input Output System
+ Directly controls hardware devices like UARTS (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) – Used in COM ports.
- Stored in the ROM of the machine.
+ What’s ROM?
- Preserved while the computer is turned off
+ How?
+ Why?
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
Software
- Divided into two main areas
+ Operating System
. Use to control the hardware and to provide an interface between the user and the hardware.
. Manages resources in the machine, like
* Memory
* Disk drives
+ Applications
. Includes games, word-processors, databases, etc…

In the example 1 we make file from keyboard, Hello.txt, in drive A: directory Kimsan.
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
Ex.2: C:\>Copy con A:\Kimsan\Dara\Jan.doc
…………….type text here……………………
……………………………………………………..
Press F6 or Ctrl+Z to save file

In this example view text of file, but you can not edit on the text by Command Type.
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
2.3. REN (Rename) (I): is the command for renames a File
Directory or Files/Directories.
When you rename file the same copy file because we give new file name but meaning of file not change.
Syntax: REN [Drive:] [PATH] [Dir1] [FILE-NAME1] [Dir2]
[FILE-NAME2]
Ex.1: C:\>Ren A:\Kimsan\Hello.txt Jan.txt
We rename the Hello.txt file to Jan.txt file in directory Kimsan.
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
Ex.2: C:\>Ren A:\Kimsan\Dara\Jan.doc Sok.bat
In the same, we rename Jan.doc to Sok.bat file in drive A directory Kimsan subdirectory Dara and the Ex.3 we rename the directory AEI to AEU in drive A and AEU to AEI in current drive C
Ex.3: C:\>Ren A:\AEI AEU
C:\>Ren AEU AEI
If we want to rename a group of files to other files you can do like this:
C:\>Ren *.exe *.bak
In this example we rename all the files that have extension (.exe) to (.bak) in drive C:
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
C:\>Ren *.* *.doc
We rename all files name and its extension to the same name but extension (.doc).
2.4. DEL (Delete) (I): is the command for delete one or more
files. This command delete files only.
Syntax: DEL [Drive:] [PATH] [FILE-NAME]

C:\>Del A:\Kimsan\Hello.txt
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
- Delete a Group of Files: we delete a group of files we use Del command with wildcards (*,?).
C:\>Del A:\*.*
we delete all of files in drive A:
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA

Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
Syntax: COPY [Drive1:] [PATH] [FILE-NAME1] [Drive2:] [PATH]
[FILE-NAME2]
2.5.1. Copy a single file: Copy a file to another location.
Ex.: C:\>Copy A:\Senat.txt D:\Kimsan
We copy file Senat.txt from drive A: to drive D: in Kimsan
2.5.2. Copy a group of files: We use wildcards to copy a group
of files.
Ex.: C:\>Copy *.exe A:\Dara Copy all name of the files that have extension (.exe) in drive C: to directory Dara in drive A
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
Ex.: C:\>Copy A:\Jan?.* C:\Sok Copy all files that begin with Jan word and with last one character and all extension to drive C: in directory Sok.
By this example, if floppy A: has 5 files such as: Jan1.doc, Jan2.txt, Jan3.bak, Jana.txt, january.doc. Its will copy 4 files to drive C: in directory Sok, Jan1.doc, Jan2.txt, Jan3.bak, Jana.txt.
It’s not copy January.doc.
Note: When you copy files to another location you should be control capacity in byte of destination that contain files.
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
2.5.3. Rename a file as it is copied: We can use this command for rename files or extension, this command is like REN.
Ex.: C:\>Copy Hello.txt A:\Hi.txt
If a group of files we use wildcards
C:\>Copy A:\*.tmp D:\*.exe
We can rename name of file in the same location but if you ddn’t change the name of file, MS-DOS will warning message
File cannot be copied onto itself
0 files copied
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
2.5.4. Combining Text of Files: We use command copy to combine text of 2 or more files into one file by add (+) sign between each file name.
Ex.: we have 4 files, (Hello.txt, Game.doc, Jan.txt and
sok.doc) and want to combine text of all files to one,
named Combine.txt.
C:\>Copy Hello.txt+Game.doc+Jan.txt+sok.doc
Combine.txt
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
2.5.5. Copy a file to printer: To print each text of file, we have to send it through printer cable first and then switch on printer.
Ex.: C:\>Copy Combine.txt lpt1
or C:\>Copy Con lpt1
……………type text here…………..
……………………………………………

To copy directory and subdirectory we use XCOPY Command. It is the same COPY Command but COPY Command can’t copy directory or subdirectory, it copy file only.
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
2.7.1. Copy all files in a directory: Copy all files in a directory without subdirectory we use XCOPY Command.
Ex.: C:\>XCOPY C:\HELLO\KIMSAN\STUDENTLIST D:\Bopha
In this example we copy all files in subdirectory studentlist in current drive C: to directory Bopha in drive D: without wildcards
2.7.2. Creating directory as your copy files: If you copy files or directory to new directory that not created, MSDOS will be created.
Ex.: C:\>XCOPY A: D:\Asia
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
In example above mean: drive D: is empty not directory but when we copy files from drive A: to drive D: directory Asia created. So we create new directory by XCOPY Command.
When we use XCOPY Command the same the rename directory, because after we copy MSDOS will be create new directory that you define for store directory, subdirectory and files that you copy from old directory.
Note: when you enter MSDOS allow you to choice 2 options:
Press F= Create File Only, D= Create New Directory for store subdirectory of file)
Introduction to PC Copyright© STC 2005Asia Euro University
SUN SETHA
2.7.3. Copying Subdirectory: For copy subdirectory to another directory we use with options /s and /e .
Ex.: C:\>XCOPY C:\KIMSAN D:\ /s/e in this example will be show that it is create Kimsan ’s directory and subdirectory again to drive D: include other empty directory.
If you want to copy directory and subdirectory that related files only we use XCOPY Command with slash s (/s)
C:\>XCOPY A: C:\HOME /S
