Hello, You could refer to the following link which provide the detailed description of Windows Startup process on Windows XP. The Windows XP Professional startup process closely resembles that of Windows Server 2003. (Including Windows Server 2003 domain controller.) Troubleshooting the Startup Process http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb457123.aspx If youd like to learn more detailed booting procedure of Windows Server 2003, I recommend you refer to some books like Microsoft Windows Internals. You could see the description of the book in the below link: http://www.microsoft.com/MSPress/books/6710.aspx Thanks. Regards, Neo Zhu
