Windows XP boot troubleshooting

  
Win XP has optimized the system as a whole, so the boot speed is not only much faster than Win 2000, but also much faster than Win 9x. However, many users find that Win XP cannot boot after upgrading or after installing other drivers. How to solve such problems?

fault: a friend's computer with Win 98 and Windows XP, reinstall Win98 use for some time, resulting in WindowsXP can not start.

Failure Analysis: Win98 will re-install the system boot XP startup files located in the root directory of the partition cover, resulting in XP does not start.

solve the problem: know the cause, the fault will be solved. The key to solving the problem is to reinstall XP OS_Loader (Hint: Win NT/2000 and Win XP bootloader), put the XP installation disk into the CD-ROM drive, and then enter the XP installer, after it copies the installer to your Stop immediately after the disk, then go back to the root directory of the system boot partition and edit Boot. Ini file, delete all the "$" in it. Here to remind everyone to pay attention to the mastery of the installation, because we installed just XP bootloader instead of reinstalling XP! What, can't find Boot. Ini file! Well, I'll introduce to find OS_Loader start-up files methods:

First, make sure and find the boot partition, and enter its root directory. Then, open the "Tools" menu in the menu bar, select "Folder Options", select the "View" tab in the "Folder Options" window, and then "Hide the operating system protected files (recommended)" Check it off, then a warning dialog will pop up, don't worry about it, just choose "OK". Also, you should put "Hidden files and folders" in "Show all files and folders", select "Confirm" and then go back to the system disk directory. At this time, you will find many systems and hidden in this directory. Files, you can find three important startup files Boot.ini, ntldr.nt, detect.com (Note: After editing the Boot.ini file, be sure to change the changes just now). Prevention

failure: In fact, such a failure could not happen, as long as reload Win98, Win98 using a boot disk, then on the startup screen appears "Win 98 installation" so a Option, choose it, you can install it with confidence!

Failure II: a friend's computer to the original Win 98 and XP dual start, after that Win 98 is not stable enough ordered to upgrade to Win2000, resulting in WindowsXP can not start.

Failure Analysis: Win 98 will be upgraded to Win 2000, Win 2000 rewrote the ntldr, ntdetect. Com, boot. Ini these three important startup files, Win 2000 can not boot XP, causing XP can not start.

solve the problem: the failure to resolve the key is to use the boot WinXP Win2000 (Note: Win 2000 can not boot XP, but XP can guide Win 2000!), That the use of ntldr XP, ntdetect. The com file starts the system and lets XP boot Win2000. To solve the problem: first start Win 98, then extract ntldr, ntdetect from the I386 directory of the XP installation CD. Com file, copy these two files to the root of the system boot partition and set it to read-only, hidden properties. This will start your XP! If you usually use XP mainly and want to change the default startup option back to XP, just use Notepad to edit Boot. Ini file, copy the boot entry of the file XP to "de?fault=", such as bootloader timeout=7 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\\Windows=“MicrosoftWindowsXP ”/fastdetect operatingsystems multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\\Windows=“MicrosoftWindows2000Profeessional”/fastdetectmulti(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\\Windows=“MicrosoftWindowsXP”/Fastdetect Finally, set it to read-only, hidden properties to the root directory of the system boot partition!

another method is: from other normal start, equipped with the same version of XP machines, these three files are copied over, and then as needed (XP is the default) in accordance with the above method editor Boot. Ini file will do!

fault prevention: Just before the upgrade will start the three file backup, and then install Win 2000 from Win 98 boot disk, the installation will resume after the completion of the three backup files to the system boot partition The root directory can avoid the above troubles!

Failure three: after a friend's system update the driver XP, XP can not start.

Failure Analysis: obviously there is a problem newly installed driver, resulting in XP does not start!

solve the problem: the failure to resolve the key is to use reliable drivers, replace your current drive. If you encounter such a problem under Win 98, then you may first think of entering safe mode, and then remove or replace the current driver from safe mode. Can XP's security mode be there? XP's security mode can be called up by pressing Ctrl at startup like Win 98. So, is XP's security mode hidden there? In fact, it is very simple to find it. When you start XP, press F8 when the startup progress bar appears, you can call up the XP boot menu and select the safe mode. The problem with entering XP's security mode is simple. The quickest and easiest way is to use Windows XP's system restore to restore the system to its normal state. Of course, you can also use the old method of eliminating such problems under Win 98, I think everyone can cope, no longer repeat them here! Prevention

failure: Due to the use of the XP driver is not stable enough due to the failure to follow the fashion XP startup not too common, recommended to choose XP driver, it is best not to select the latest drivers, unless you are willing to do to help test!

last remind everyone that encounters such failures do not panic, must be calm, careful analysis of the cause of the malfunction, failure to find a solution, I wish everyone good use windows XP, to fully experience the digital lifestyle pleasure!
