1. The Windows kernel-mode I/O manager manages communication
between applications and device driver interfaces. ... The stack
is made up of the joystick driver, the USB hub, the USB host
controller, and the PCI bus. Each driver in the stack sends and
receives IRPs to coordinate this communication.
2. Based on the Microsoft Windows operating system concept, the
Windows structure provides a high-level interface to numerous
system functionalities. The ability to generate and communicate
with distinct processes, as well as interface with the registry
and file subsystems, is among these features.
3. Synchronous I/O indicates that some flow of execution (such as a
process or thread) is awaiting the completion of the operation.
Asynchronous I/O implies that nothing is waiting for the
operation to finish, and that the completion of the operation
causes something to happen.
4. If the system has a RAID I/O controller hub, a Raid 0 disk can
be installed even if the operating system is already installed
(ICH). It is also necessary to enable the raid controller in
Windows. Enabling the RAID controller is not recommended if the
SATA hard disk is the boot drive.
5.
The term executive layer is used in the Windows operating system
to refer to kernel-mode components that provide a range of
services to device drivers, such as:
Object administration.
 Memory administration.
Management of processes and threads
Management of input/output.
Configuration administration.
