Configurare noua (How To)

Configuration Issues: These are issues where new commands have been set or old ones modified and it had an adverse affect on the computer. This can usually be resolved by finding the wrong or modified command or setting and either changing it to one that works or revert it back to its original state.

Boot options using the Boot tab

This tab gives you many options for starting up the computer. The top portion of the window contains the start-up file that the computer is using. If there are multiple boot partitions on the computer, you see each listed here. You can change the timeout value for the boot menu. You can clearly see what commands the boot manager is using, to see if there are any issues.

MSCONFIG Boot Tab

Two of the three buttons provided in this window are for editing purposes and are unavailable by default. There are two options down the side of the page:

Make all boot settings permanent:
Changes made in System Configuration are not tracked. If you want to make changes later, you have to do so manually. Use this feature with caution!
Note: Selecting Normal Startup in the General tab DOES NOT work if this feature is selected. With this setting enabled, you must manually revert any changes that you have made.
Timeout field:
Using MSCONFIG can cause the operating system selection screen to display for 30 seconds. As a result, 30 seconds are added to the overall startup time. To prevent the operating selection screen from appearing for 30 seconds on startup, change the timeout line in the Timeout field to zero.

The only button that is not unavailable under the Boot tab, is the Advanced Options. Clicking the Advanced Options button brings up the Boot Advanced Options dialog box. Usually you do not use these options, but they can come in handy. Such as if you suspect that a boot issue is being caused by having multiple processors. You can limit the number of processors used to boot the computer by selecting the Number of Processors check box and specifying a number.
