A DIFFERENT WAY OF BOOTING ONTO WINDOWS.

Are you tired of watching the same Load Progress Screen of Microsoft Windows while booting on? Are you bored of waiting for the progress bar to stop rolling in slow PCs? Let’s go a bit in Linux way, the Open Booting. Let’s watch what all are the drivers being loaded in the background to get your windows opened. Here is that small magic.

Go to ‘RUN’ , type C:\boot.ini and press enter.
A text file opens with some line written on it (Please see the picture below). Go for a line which starts with ‘multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect . After /fastdetect you have to add the following so as the line will look like this:-
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /sos /NOGUIBOOT
(Your kind attention is solicited towards the single space after fastdetect and /, also between sos and /. That means:-
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /sos /NOGUIBOOT )
Now, save and close the file. Restart your PC to view the change. You’ll really feel great. The booting will be similar to a booting in SAFE MODE. When you want a back in traditional state, run the same process and remove the Strings ‘/sos /NOGUIBOOT’. Restart, you will get your familiar old Progress Bar.
