Windows XP Boot Process
24
Windows XP Boot Process

Booting: Process of starting the computer is known as booting. When we turn on the power supply till the time, Windows XP
Logon Screen is displayed , there is a process in background

running, which is Boot Process. Only once the boot process is successful, a user is able to log on to the system.
25
Examining Boot Process
26
Boot Process Sequences

Boot Sequence can be further divided into 5 below Sequences.
Pre-Boot Sequence
S E Q U E N C E
Boot Sequence
Kernel Load Sequence
Kernel Initiation Sequence
Logon Sequence
27
Process
1. First is the POST, this stands for Power On Self Test, for the computer. This process tests memory as well as a number of other subsystems. You can usually monitor this as it runs each test. After that is complete the system will run POST for any device that has a BIOS (Basic Input-Output System). An AGP has its own BIOS, as do some network cards and various other devices.
2. Once the POST is complete and the BIOS is sure that everything is working properly, the BIOS will then attempt to read the MBR (Master Boot Record). This is the first sector of the first hard drive (called the Master or HD0). When the MBR takes over it means that Windows is now in control.
28
Process (Contd.).
3. The MBR looks at the BOOT SECTOR (the first sector of the active partition). That is where NTLDR is located, NTLDR is the BOOT LOADER for Windows XP. NTLDR will allow memory addressing, initiate the file system, read the boot.ini and load the boot menu. NTLDR has to be in the root of the active partition as do NTDETECT.COM, BOOT.INI, BOOTSECT.DOS (for multi-OS booting) and NTBOOTDD.SYS (if you have SCSI adapters) 4. Once XP is selected from the Boot Menu, NTLDR will run NTDETECT.COM, BOOT.INI and BOOTSECT.DOS to get the proper OS selected and loaded. The system starts in 16-bit real mode and then moves into 32-bit protected mode.
29
Process (Contd.).
5. NTLDR will then load NTOSKRNL.EXE and HAL.DLL. Effectively, these two files are windows XP. They must be
located in %SystemRoot%System32.
6. NTLDR reads the registry, chooses a hardware profile and authorizes device drivers, in that exact order.
7. At
this
point
NTOSKRNL.EXE
takes
over.
It
starts
WINLOGON.EXE that in turn starts LSASS.EXE, this is the program that display the Logon screen so that you can logon.
30
Advanced Boot Options

The Advanced Boot Options menu helps to start Windows in advanced troubleshooting modes. Turn on your computer and pressing the F8 key before Windows starts.
The most common options are as follows:

Safe Mode Safe Mode with Networking Safe mode with Command Prompt Last Known Good Configuration(LKGC) Enable VGA Mode Start Windows normally
31
Managing Users and Groups
32
User Accounts
A user account is a collection of information that tells Windows
Which files and folders you can access.
What changes you can make to the computer and your personal preferences, such as your desktop background or screen saver.
User accounts let you share a computer with several people,

while having your own files and settings. Each person accesses his or her user account with a user name and password.
33
User Account Types

There are 2 user account types.
Computer Administrator Limited User or Guest
User account restricts the access to computer as below.

Task
34
Groups
Groups displays all built-in groups as well as groups you create. The built-in groups are created automatically when you install Windows XP. Belonging to a group gives a user rights and abilities to
perform various tasks on the computer.
35
Built-In Groups
Administrators
Backup Operators
Power Users
Users
Guests

Disabling and Uninstalling H/W devices

Disabling and Uninstalling any hardware device can be done only from Device Manager. Once you disable a hardware device, Windows XP and any other software on your computer will no longer be able to use that hardware. Path to disable hardware device: Open Device Manager, select the device, right click, Disable This will make the device stop functioning. Do you really want to disable it?" Select Yes , click OK To uninstall any hardware device: Follow the above path, select Uninstall (in place of Disable,)
45
Configure the Desktop Environment

A user profile customizes desktop environments such as network, display and printer connection settings. Only system administrator can define user desktop settings. Below are the settings that can be configured:
Desktop
Start Menu, Taskbar Control Panel
Power options
System Windows Components
46
Configuring System Settings

A user is not able to access features on desktop, system connected to a network, then the System Admin of the Org might have disabled or even removed certain settings by using Group Policy.
Listed are some settings:

System Network Printers Windows Components
47
Making Files and Web Sites offline

In order to make the files or web pages available, so that we can work offline, all the above are copied to computer. When the computer is connected back to network, the operating system will sync the updated files to the network.
Benefits:
Save files from network outages Work with offline files
Easily synchronize with network files, when connected
48
Using Remote Administration

The basic difference between these two features (Remote Assistance & Remote Desktop): In Remote Assistance, both users involved share desktop with logon credentials can share control of that desktop;
In Remote Desktop, when the remote person accesses the system, the actual user will not have access to the system.
To enable Remote Desktop feature: Right-click My Computer, select Properties, click on Remote Settings, select the radio button Allow connections from computers running any version of Remote Desktop , click Apply and OK
