Boot sequence

bsktcse23

Studying for the A+ OS test next week. Does anyone have the boot sequence of Win 95, Win 98, Win NT, Win 2000 in a spreadsheet or available somewhere on the net? Looking for a detail list of files used and in what order. Thanks!

Win 9x boot sequence :
io.sys
msdos.sys
logo.sys (if present and needed)
drvspace.bin (if present and needed)
loads system.dat into memory
selects hardware profile
config.sys
autoexec.bat
win.com
system.ini
win.ini
virtual device drivers
windows kernel
GDI
explorer shell
user.dat

win 2k boot sequence :
ntldr
boot.ini
bootsect.dos (dual boot config)
ntdetect.com
ntbootdd.sys
numerous other sytem files incl. hall.dll & win.com

hope this helps
