Windows ME Step by Step Boot Sequence Please

[xoptimus]

Hello again everyone

Can someone please explain to me what is the step by step boot sequence of Windows ME? I would like to know what happens from where the "Boot Strap" file is loaded from the hard disk. I know it then goes on to load the OS but what I want to know is:-

what system files are loaded?
in what sequence are the files loaded?
what does each file do (generally) when it loads?

I can't find a good explanation of this anywhere so would really appreciate any help.

regards

To see what files are loaded at bootup. Hold the Control key or the F8 key down during startup. When the boot menu appears choose "logged" and restart the computer. When it's backup and running, look for and open the "bootlog.txt" file at the root of your "C" drive.


Hope that helps http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
