[edit] Under construction

I'm in the midst of updating and rewriting many of the articles related to the Windows NT Startup Process, including this one; I plan to be finished by EOD Sat Jan 28. Warrens 02:43, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

What is ARC??.

Must be some processor.

What about ntdetect.com? Delete it and NT no boot.

[edit] Switches

How about a description for each of the switches?


I would put the "example" in an image on the right, but I don't know how to go about it. - Evil saltine 29 June 2005 00:10 (UTC)

I used Virtual PC to get a copy of the Advanced Options screen, but I don't have any virtual PC's running multiple O/S's. Otherwise I would of replaced the example box with an actual image. - Nidonocu 29 June 2005 10:34 (UTC)

It would be great if someone would add details on how to use NTLDR to boot multiple systems on one machine. e.g. Windows XP Pro, Windows Server 2003, and Xandros Linux (my current configuration). I'd add this, but I don't feel comfortable enough with my limited knowledge of NTLDR to attempt to tell others how to do this.

[edit] NTLDR's can differ

Windows 2003 SP1 NTLDR can boot into a ramdrive. From the Win2k3 Service Pack 1.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?amp;displaylang=en&familyid=22CFC239-337C-4D81-8354-72593B1C1F43&displaylang=en Extract the files, to get the NTLDR

extract SETUPLDR.EX_ NTLDR

From there you can use:

BootDevice = "ramdisk(0)"
BootPath = "\i386\System32\"
OsLoadOptions = "/noguiboot /fastdetect /minint /rdimageoffset=36352 /rdpath=IMAGE.SDI"

[edit] MD5

Maybe we could post the MD5's of different versions of the NTLDR? Would be nice to have this resource in a system audit.

[edit] NTLDR Can also be loaded:

From PXE Boot. Yes Sir. SNIa 02:45, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
