A. Windows 2000 inherits some of the Windows 98 features including the ability to press F8 to bring up a menu allowing various "safe" startup options.
- Safe Mode
- Safe Mode with Networking
- Safe Mode with Command Prompt
- Enable boot logging
- Enable VGA mode
- Enable Last Known Good configuration
- Directory Services Restore Mode
- Debugging Mode
- Boot Normally
There are other startup keys available, some of which are not documented:
- F5 - If during installation at the "Setup is inspecting your computer" the system hangs press F5 and a list of PC types will be listed. Select "Standard PC" which should resolve your problem
- F6 - Displayed early in setup and allows 3rd party drivers to be loaded
- F7 - Load the normal PC HAL instead of the ACPI HAL
- F8 - As shown above
- <Shift - F10> - Open command prompt during GUI phase of installation
