Boot from Network?
I went back in and double checked, changed it to show system files and folders and it revealed boot.ini--and in boot.ini was the elusive setting to a dead recovery console! So, even though I did an advanced search on boot.ini asking it to look at hidden system and non-indexed files, search did not find it.

Also create a floppy boot disk for emergency use (see http://support.microsoft. com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q305595). If you play around with the basic boot stuff, your computer may not be able to boot any operating system. So, to keep things real simple, keep the hard drives on the same IDE bus and

Lost dual boot
MS should have established as "policy" that the preferred way to configure an NT/W2K installation would be with a dedicated partition for boot/swap/system and an entirely separate partition for user files. Mind you, I'm not recommending that everyone start doing this......I'm saying that it's a flaw in the design

Boot.ini question
(Number of users seem to affect boot times as does if the welcome screen is displayed - these are guesses) What defragger do you use. XP's inbuilt one? How do you measure the 60 seconds and how is that time broken up. 9x bootlog recorded times maybe NT does too. From help Enable Boot Logging Starts while logging

(y/n) And the resulting diskette does not boot. Any help appreciated. I'm not real sure on this, but you say that you boot with a floppy which indicates to me that you have a problem booting with LILO. It appears that you have / on a partition that goes beyond cylinder 1023 and that you do not have a separate /boot

lilo.conf ignored by lilo at boot time
To revert to a bzImage you simply strip off the ELF header, this should reduce concerns of the kernel boot format forking. For my uses an ELF image is the primary format I work with. In addition with all of these patches applied, the net growth of a real mode kernel is 35 bytes. An ELF header cost an additional 324

Linux/Win98 Dual Boot Problem
I was actually looking at the time when the primary boot drive died and I wanted to boot from the alternate boot drive. I was hoping to just select the alternate boot drive from the list that is presented at cold boot time and then boot from that drive but I guess there has to be another way.

Can I boot of an XP System disk, nested in a logical volume
Nun ist guter Rat teuer: Natürlich könnte man das Kernel-Update so anpassen, dass bei nicht gemounteter / nicht existierender Boot-Partition davon ausgegangen wird, dass die Root-Partition gleich der Boot-Partition ist. Ich möchte nur vorher verstehen, ob das tatsächlich eine normale Installation ist,

x86 - boot/header.S
I beleive that Darryl was wrong in his claim that Fdisk FP 14 did rewrite the Boot Manager. Experimentally... (1) I have a 100% working 3-boot environment using FAT32-blind Boot Manager built by Warp Connect. FAT32 shows up with no drive letter on the menu, and as Type 0B or Type 0C within FDISK displays.

I'm learning about the boot process of Windows (NT/XP) and I asked myself, where do boot sector virusses write their code??? Most boot infectors that are still around, and these are few, write their code to the MBR. Some, but not all, relocate the original uninfected MBR somewhere else, mostly to an unused sector

Boot FAQ (v.1.5)
The boot process is a little clumsy but tolerable. The aim: To build a machine which could boot any one of Win98, Linux, Solaris 8.0 from a single 20 Gbyte disk and be used mainly as a workstation Simply (some of the details are lost to me but the main idea follows): I created a DOS fdisk primary partition of 1

I think they are called: (1) ntldr (2) ntdetect.com (3) boot.ini (4) bootsec.dos What do they do and which ones pass control to which others and for what reason? I want to know this so I can next look at how XP uses files to boot up in the Win98/ME partition and then runs from another partition.
