Additional Advanced Boot Options<br />

Lesson 3 Troubleshooting Problems Using Startup and Recovery Tools<br />

4-29<br />

Pressing F8 during the operating system selection phase displays a screen with the<br />

Windows Advanced Options menu. This menu provides the following additional<br />

options:<br />

Enable Boot Logging Selecting the Enable Boot Logging advanced boot option logs<br />

the loading and initialization of drivers and services for troubleshooting boot<br />

problems. All drivers and services that are loaded and initialized or that are not<br />

loaded in a file are logged. The log file, NTBTLOG.TXT, is located in the %windir%<br />

folder. All three versions of safe mode automatically create this boot log file.<br />

See Also You can learn more about using boot logging to troubleshoot by reading Appendix D<br />

of the Microsoft Windows XP Professional Resource <strong>Kit</strong> Documentation on the Microsoft Web<br />

site at http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/reskit/en-us/.<br />

Enable VGA Mode Selecting the Enable VGA Mode advanced boot option starts<br />

Windows XP Professional with a basic VGA driver. Use this setting if you are experiencing<br />

problems with the video card, video driver, or monitor.<br />

Directory Services Restore Mode Selecting the Directory Services Restore Mode<br />

advanced boot option is applicable only to domain controllers, so it does not<br />

apply to computers running Windows XP Professional.<br />

Debugging Mode Selecting the Debugging Mode advanced boot option starts Windows<br />

XP Professional in kernel debug mode, which allows a debugger to break<br />

into the kernel for troubleshooting and system analysis.<br />

Disable Automatic Restart On System Failure By default, Windows XP Professional<br />

automatically restarts the computer when there is a system failure. Normally,<br />

this default setting works well, but you might want to disable automatic<br />

restarts when you are troubleshooting certain problems. A good example of this is<br />

when troubleshooting stop errors. If automatic restarting is enabled, Windows<br />

restarts the computer before you can get a chance to read the error message. Use<br />

the Disable Automatic Restart On System Failure setting to prevent Windows from<br />

restarting when the computer fails (using this setting gives you the chance to read<br />

the error or perform any actions you need to perform before a restart).
