No Boot

Through this we are entering into another most important aspect of the laptop business. Now you may ask what the need of this very feature is. Well, it can be answered in many ways. But to be very precise, with the rapidly changing world along with the changing mode of the people's perception, there is also a greater need to cope with the emerging technical problems. We are in that age when we can't move a bit without the help of the computers. In addition, with the introduction of the laptops this dependence has increased in manifold ways. From the storage of business details to many daily subjects, all of them are best secure in the laptops. Thus, it is a greater responsibility on the part of the technicians, or the companies who are directly involved in the laptop business, to maintain the laptops of the clients effectively. In this respect the saga of troubleshooting the slow boot problems adopts a major role.

If you are the client and is having Windows based operating systems such as Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional and Windows 2003 Servers, then you may face from time to time the emergence of slow boot problems. If it ever happens there is a great need of troubleshooting these crises. It is to be noted, that slow booting is indeed a very common issue that can occur to any computer at any hour. There are several reasons that do play a great role behind this crisis; they include viruses and spyware attack, problems with Windows registry, hardware or software conflicts, inadequate or faulty hardware, security holes in the operating system and the plenty of installed programs. It is followed by the backing up of all the vital information on your hard drive, making sure that you can get your computer running without your hard drive. What does this stand for? This invariably means that is a great need on your part to make sure you have got a boot floppy for each of your systems. However, it is to be taken into consideration that it should be a boot floppy with whatever device drivers you regularly use to boot your system. Why is this device necessary? This is necessary if there are emergencies in case of a hard drive crash your PC won't boot from the hard drive. But if already have a boot floppy disk you can certainly boot your system. For the sake of booting your drivers on to a boot disk, a genera process is followed like to the control panel, click Add/Remove Programs, choose the Startup Disk tab, and select the Create Disk option. Now if there is any requirement of the installation of Windows 98 or Me there is no option for you but to create a boot disk. It should be kept in mind, that Windows 98 and Me and 2000 do not allow you to call off the backup bootable floppy disk option. Therefore it is necessary for you to make sure you are prepared with floppy disks at the time of installing these operating systems. Well, it doesn't matter which operating system you are using, but there is compulsory requirement of a floppy some kind of recovery medium that can be use at the time of need. Early versions of Windows, for the most part Windows 95, which had its advent with a CD drive. You were either expected to already have a CD driver installed with Window 3x or to create one from scratch. This was a weighty task. Windows 98/Me, had a floppy disk that had generic drivers for most standard IDE and SCSI CD-Rom drives.

However for you betterment and also better understanding of our mode of work the following tips have been rendered that will help you a lot diagnose and troubleshoot the exact problems or if there is occurrence of any, affecting the system performance.

Update Operating System:
Regularly update your operating system to fix the security holes by downloading the latest patches.
Install Antivirus Program:
An up-to-dated antivirus program is required to deal with the viruses. Scan your computer for the viruses and other malicious codes.
Install Anti spyware Program:
Spyware has become the real cause of the malformed functionalities of the computer. To make your computer spyware free you need to install and scan your PC with an up-to-dated anti spyware program.
Defragment the Hard Drives:
Defragment your hard disk drives especially C drive to free up the unused space in your hard disk. This will help you to increase the performance of your computer.
Disable the Unwanted Startup Programs:
Unwanted programs at Windows startup creates the problems such as slow boot up, utilization of the system's resources and the bad performance of the computer. To get rid of the unwanted programs at startup, you need to perform the following action.
In Windows XP to Start > Run and type "Msconfig" without quotes. A new window will appear go to the Startup tab and unselect all the unwanted programs.
Increase RAM:
By increasing the amount of physical memory (RAM) you can get the optimized performance from your computer.
Uninstall Unused Software:
Go to the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall all the unwanted programs.
Use Diagnostic Utilities:
There are a lot of diagnostic utilities and software that can be used to fix the common errors in computers. The common diagnostic and troubleshooting tools are PC Doctor, PC Booster, Registry Fix and Error Nuker. Microsoft provides a free utility “Bootvis.exe" to diagnose and troubleshoot the slow performance issues of the computer.

Make it a point, that for many of the procedures that have been mentioned here, there is the need of an efficient administrator, or any device having privileges of an administrator. Now, with this the first part of basic troubleshooting that your computer is powered on is established. Therefore, there is the need to check the next part that is to check if it is booting up and in a normal manner. In this phase we shall have to keep in mind that the saga of booting from floppy happens to be the most common feature and also the most significant. What is the reason of its significance? It is nothing but the single most important piece of equipment that is highly required at the time of recovery of any non-NTFS System. It is also to be note,, that it is able to boot any system that is having the support of the CD-ROM. With the help of the floppy you can surely have an access to just any efficacy that will run from a CD-R that it can contain. It is stated that a floppy will contain several utilities in CDs and floppies. Even If not all, most without having to reboot over and over again. We have perceived that the Windows 2000 series is without a doubt complicated but on the other hand, NT is almost as easy as windows 9x. Backup the Registry i.e. the SYSTEM.DAT and USER.DAT files that are located in your C:\Windows directory. Nevertheless, as a type of different aspect from Windows NT, the simple notion of backing up the Registry in Windows 2000happens to be insufficient. There is the definite presence of few other aspects that is termed by the Microsoft as the System State. These items make up the System State for a domain controller - Active Directory, Boot Files, COM+ class registration database, Registry and the SYSVOL. You shall have to run a complete backup and it will be found that it does include all the files necessary to backup your system. Now, it is only you who shall have to make it certain that you backup all the important files - always backup as much as possible. If the space appears to be quite insufficient make it sure that you are involved in the process of backup files that you cannot afford to lose. In case of a hard drive crash you will have to reinstall the system and all of your applications, but that's not as bad loosing your precious data.

There are also happen to b certain moments when it is indeed difficult that you are having a great problem at the time of booting your system. In those special cases, it will be better for you to opt for the boot up in 'Safe Mode'. Now, what is a safe mode? Safe Mode is indeed a method of booting the system with only the drivers that are essentially required to run the basic system.

You will be able to use your keyboard and mouse but will see only a basic VGA display, and have no network connections etc. This can help, for instance, if you had installed a new piece of software, or a new device which requires a different driver. Now, what to do? You shall have to follow some few very simple methods. To boot up in Safe Mode or 'last known good' restart your computer, and, when the message 'Please select the operating system to start' appears, press the F8 key, (located on the top row of the keyboard). You may need a couple of days to get this at the right time.
