  5. The NT/2000/XP Boot Process continued…

  6. The NT/2000/XP Boot Process

  7. Files Needed to BootWindows NT/2000/XP

  8. Customizing the Windows NT/2000/XP Boot Process • Use the Boot.ini file • Can be manually edited, but using System Properties window is recommended • Main sections of the Boot.ini file • [boot loader] • [operating system] • Multi (0) • Disk (0) • Rdisk (0) • Partition (1)

  9. Sample Boot.ini File

  10. Customizing the Windows NT/2000/XP Boot Process

  11. Customizing the Windows NT/2000/XP Boot Process

  12. Troubleshooting theWindows 2000 Boot Process • Try the simple things first • Determine at what point in the process the system fails • Use troubleshooting tools • Advanced Options menu • Recovery Console • Emergency startup disk

  13.

Recovery Console • Use when OS does not start properly or hangs during the load • New in Windows 2000 • Command-line interface lets you perform maintenance and repairs to hard drive (eg, damaged registry, system files, or file system) • Does not use a GUI; allows access to the FAT16, FAT32, and NTFS file systems

  16. Accessing the Recovery Console • Must enter Administrator password in order to use it and access an NTFS volume • First boot from the Windows 2000 CD or from the four setup disks, or the console can be installed under the startup menu and accessed from there

Emergency Repair Process:The Last Resort • Restores the system to its state at the end of the Windows 2000 installation • All changes made to the registry since installation are lost • Requires the Emergency Startup Disk (ERD), but the disk does not contain the same information as the Windows NT ERD

  26. Windows 2000 ERD • Used to recover from problems with corrupted or missing operating system files or a corrupted hard drive boot sector • Contains information about current installation but does not contain a copy of the registry because it is too large to fit on a single floppy disk • Points to a folder (%SystemRoot%\repair) on the hard drive where the registry was backed up at installation
