Think of it like this: Your PC will not run a program unless an operating system is loaded. Once the operating system is loaded, you can then add programs to the system and run the programs. (Now just substitute the .bin for OS and the .hex for program.)

Why do you have to reload your .hex file when you upgrade the .bin? The install process of the .bin over-rights the space where the .hex file lived, or something like that. Basically, the .hex file gets erased. So, you must reload it. Got it?
