dbjjones

I have run into conflickting info on this sub. Here is what I have.

MS-DOS startup sequence
· Io.sys
· Msdos.sys
· Config.sys
· Command.com
· Autoexec.bat

or

IO.SYS
MSDOS.SYS
COMMAND.COM
CONFIG.SYS
AUTOEXEC.BAT


Windows 2000/XP startup sequence

· Ntldr
· Boot.ini
· Ntdetect.com
· Ntoskrnl.exe

or

NTLDR
BOOT.INI
BOOTSECT.COM
NTDETECT.COM
NTBOOTDD.SYS
NTOSKRNL.EXE
HAL.DLL
System


Windows 9x family startup sequence
· Io.sys
· Config.sys
· Msdos.sys
· Command.com
· Autoexec.bat

or

IO.SYS
MSDOS.SYS
CONFIG.SYS
AUTOEXEC.BAT
WIN.INI
WIN.COM
SYSTEM.INI
Registry
Virtual Device Driver

Both have come from my study met. So are the files in caps the right ones.

Just to clarify the startup sequence :

For MS-DOS, it is:
IO.SYS
MSDOS.SYS
config.sys
COMMAND.COM
autoexec.bat


For Windows 9x:
IO.SYS
MSDOS.SYS
config.sys
COMMAND.COM
autoexec.bat
WIN.COM


For Windows NT/2000/XP:
NTLDR
BOOT.INI
BOOTSECT.DOS
NTDETECT.COM
NTBOOTDD.SYS
NTOSKRNL.EXE
HAL.DLL
SYSTEM registry key
Device drivers

Hope this helps
