Watch your Startup in NT 4.0

If you want or need to see what drivers are being loaded as Windows NT 4.0 starts, you can use Boot.INI to tell NT to display the drivers.

Before you edit the Boot.INI file, you need to first make sure you have a backup of the current file in case you make a mistake.

To display the drivers during start up, add /SOS to the Windows NT line. Your line should resemble the one shown here.

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)\WINNT="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" /SOS

Now save the file and restart your computer to see the drivers loading during start up.
