Indication in This is actually the (simplified) boot sequence for Windows NT, 2000, XP and 2003: BIOS: performs Power On Self Test (Publish) BIOS: loads MBR through the boot unit specified/selected through the BIOS MBR: incorporates a modest level of code that reads the partition table,
Windows 7 Sale, the primary partition marked as active is determined to become the program volume MBR: loads the boot sector through the procedure volume BOOT SECTOR: reads the root directory for the process volume at loads NTLDR NTLDR: reads BOOT.INI in the strategy volume to find out the boot drive (presenting a menu if more than one entry is defined) NTLDR: loads and executes NTDETECT.COM through the technique volume to accomplish BIOS hardware detection NTLDR: loads NTOSKRNL.EXE, HAL.DLL,
Office Standard 2007 Serial, BOOTVID.DLL (and KDCOM.DLL for XP upwards) from the boot (Windows) volume NTLDR: loads WINDOWSSYSTEM32CONFIGSYSTEM which turns into the method hive HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystem NTLDR: loads drivers flagged as "boot" defined with the process hive, then passes control to NTOSKRNL.EXE NTOSKRNL.EXE: brings up the loading splash display and initializes the kernel subsystem NTOSKRNL.EXE: begins the boot-start drivers then loads & commences the system-start drivers NTOSKRNL.EXE: creates the Session Manager process (SMSS.EXE) SMSS.EXE: runs any programs specified in BootExecute (e.g. AUTOCHK, the native API version of CHKDSK) SMSS.EXE: processes any delayed move/rename operations from hotfixes/service packs replacing in-use program files SMSS.EXE: initializes the paging file(s) and the remaining registry hives ** before this step completes,
Office Professional 2010 32bit, bugchecks will not result in a memory dump as we need a working page file on the boot (Windows) volume **SMSS.EXE: commences the kernel-mode portion of the Win32 subsystem (WIN32K.SYS) SMSS.EXE: commences the user-mode portion from the Win32 subsystem (CSRSS.EXE) SMSS.EXE: begins WINLOGON.EXE WINLOGON.EXE: commences the Neighborhood Security Authority (LSASS.EXE) WINLOGON.EXE: loads the Graphical User Identification and Authentication DLL (MSGINA.DLL by default) WINLOGON.EXE: displays the logon window WINLOGON.EXE: commences the services controller (SERVICES.EXE) ** at this point users can logon **SERVICES.EXE: commences all services markes as automatic --------- NOTES: The Technique volume would be the partition from which the boot process commences, containing the MBR,
Windows 7 Upgrade Key, boot sector,
Windows 7 Professional X86, NTLDR, NTDETECT.COM & BOOT.INI The BOOT volume is a partition which consists of the Windows folder - this can be a logical partition
