Q

there are 9 steps to the boot process in windows vista. recite them to me.

15-718

A
  1. Self-check and BIOS finds the Master Boot Record.
  2. MBR loads and finds the volume boot sector.
  3. MBR determines the file system and loads BOOTMGR.
  4. BOOTMGR check if WINRESUME.EXE is needed.
  5. BOOTMGR processes BCD.
  6. BOOTMGR loads and runs WINLOAD.EXE.
  7. WINLOAD.EXE loads NTOSKRNL.EXE and HAL.DLL. HAL.DLL enables communcation between the OS and the installed hardware.
  8. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM Registry hive and evice drivers are loaded and control is transferred to NTOSKRNL.EXE to complete the boot process. It calls the WIN32K.SYS subsystem and the session manager SMSS.EXE.
  9. WINLOGON.EXE loads. At this point, you get the Logon screen.
