    The Windows booting sequence involves multiple steps: 1. The pre-boot sequence performs self-checks and locates the boot record to start the boot process. 2. The boot sequence detects hardware and loads components like the boot loader, memory addressing, and file system initialization. 3. The kernel load sequence brings operating system components into memory, including drivers, the kernel, and components that read the registry and authorize devices.

    1) Pre-boot Sequence
    - In pre-boot sequence, it performs self-check routines and locates boot
    record.
    - There is Power on Self-Test test memory and subsystems. System run
    POST for any devices that have BIOS.
    - BIOS read the MBR and MBR look NTLDR.
    2) Boot Sequence
    - Hardware configuration is detected and loaded in boot sequence.
    (1) NTLDR (boot loader for windows XP)
    (2) Memory addressing
    (3) Initiate file system
    (4) BOOT.INI
    (5) Load the boot menu
    3) Kernel Load Sequence
    - In Kernel Load Sequence, operating systems componenets are loaded into
    memory.
    (1) NTDETECT.COM
    (2) BOOT.INI
    (3) NOOTSECT.DOS
    (4) NTBOOTDD.SYS
    (5) NTOSKRNL.ECXE & HAL.DLL
    (6) Read the registry choose hardware profile and authorize device driver
    4) Kernal Initiation Sequence
    - Windows XP Profesion kernel takes control.
    (1) NTOSKRNL.EXE
    5) Log On Sequence
    - When the Log On to Windows dialog box is displayed and user can log on.
    (1) WINLOGON.EXE starts
    (2) LSASS.EXE starts display (log on screen)
