  1. What Happens During the Boot Sequence • Ntldr reads and loads the boot loader menu • Ntldr uses Ntdetect.com • Ntldr loads the OS and device drivers • Ntldr passes control to Ntoskrnl.exe • An operating system other than Windows NT is chosen

  2. What Happens During the Boot Sequence continued

  3. What Happens During the Boot Sequence

  4. Files Needed to Successfully Boot Windows NT

  5. Troubleshooting the Boot Process • Last Known Good Configuration • Copy of hardware configuration saved from the Registry • Windows NT boot disks (3) • Windows NT emergency repair disk (ERD) • Contains information unique to the OS and hard drive (a backup of the Windows NT Registry on the hard drive)

  7. Windows NT Boot Disks

  8. The Windows NT Emergency Repair Disk (ERD)

  9. Using the Boots Disks and ERD to Recover from a Failed Boot

  10. Using the Boots Disks and ERD to Recover from a Failed Boot

  11. Some Windows NT Errors at Startup

  12. Managing Legacy Software in the Windows NT Environment • Customizing an NTVDM for a DOS application • Customizing an NTVDM for 16-bit Windows applications • Why applications might not work with Windows NT

Why Applications Might Not Work with Windows NT • DOS applications that try to access hardware directly are shut down by Windows NT • A 16-bit Windows application that uses virtual device drivers (VxD) will fail because these drivers attempt to access hardware directly • A 32-bit application developed on a different hardware platform than the current PC might not run under Windows NT • Some OS/2 applications are not compatible with Windows NT

  20. The Windows NT Registry • Hierarchical database containing all the hardware, software, device drivers, network protocols, and user configuration information needed by the OS and applications • Provides a secure and stable location for configuration information
