Lesson Summary
If your computer will not start, you might be able to start it by using the safe mode because Windows
XP Professional starts with limited device drivers and system services.
If you change the Windows XP Professional configuration to load a driver and have problems
rebooting, you can use the LastKnownGood process to recover your working configuration.
Pressing F8 during the operating system selection phase displays a screen with the Windows
Advanced Options menu that provides the following options: Safe Mode, Safe Mode With
Networking, Safe Mode With Command Prompt, Enable Boot Logging, Enable VGA Mode,
LastKnownGood Configuration, Directory Services Restore Mode, and Debugging Mode.
The Windows XP Professional Recovery Console is a command-line interface that you can use to
perform a variety of troubleshooting and recovery tasks.
