Most of us have had the problem before. You start your Windows system and were greeted with a cryptic error message or "blue screen of death" before the system startup. It 'a sinking feeling. You can not access the operating system and the resolution of the problem can be difficult. In most cases, people end up resorting to drastic measures, such as formatting the hard drive and reinstall the operating system. It is not always a lost cause. Windows Server 03 includes a number of alternative boot options that address and solve these problems.
When you try to recover from a Windows boot failure, the first step is to get to the menu of the boot options. You can do this by pressing the F8 key on your keyboard immediately after you see the Windows boot loader screen. Once in the menu of the boot options, you will have a number of options that are described below:
Safe Mode
This option starts the operating system with a minimum of system drivers. safe mode will help when troubleshooting boot failures caused by device drivers and registry problems. This mode does not provide network support, and most of the system services are disabled.
Safe Mode with Networking
The same as Safe mode, only with network support.
Safe Mode with Command Prompt
This is a command-line interface. It may be useful to rename files and do other routine of basic command line. The Windows Explorer shell is not loaded and is basically just a DOS prompt.
Enable Boot Logging
start recording starts the system normally, but creates a detailed log of all the services and drivers that are trying to load at boot time. This can help you determine what is causing the system to crash. The default location for the log file is C: Windowsntbtlog.txt.
Enable VGA mode
This charge is actually the video driver that is currently installed, it uses the resolution and depth of lower color available. This is useful if you are troubleshooting a problem with the video card or the monitor driver.
Last Known Good Configuration
You can use this option to restore a saved copy of the registry during the last successful logon to Windows. Even if it sounds good, I can not recall a single case that this has never worked for me in the past, and believe me, I tried several times.
Directory Services Restore mode
This is only applicable for the Active Directory domain controller. It allows you to perform maintenance and backup recovery tasks on Active Directory.
debug mode
This will allow you to connect a working server via a serial cable to send debug messages for analysis. This requires a large amount of configuration on the wrong side and can not be a realistic option for most people.
Finally, you can use the Recovery Console to perform the resolution of the most advanced problems. The Recovery Console is not installed by default. If not installed, you can still use it to boot the operating system CD and choosing the "Repair the Recovery Console with the" option. The Recovery Console allows you to change the boot options of services, create or extend volumes and or to select alternate boot options.
In this article we covered the multiple boot options provided by Windows Server 03. If this is not a hardware failure, you can often narrow down and fix most startup problems in Windows Server 03 by using these instruments.
