Windows Vista Boot Files for the A+ Certification Exams

Windows Vista utilizes four boot files, and you will need an understanding of all four of them for the A+ Certification exams. The four boot files for Windows Vista are:



  • bootmgr: Operating system loader code; similar to ntldr in previous versions of Windows



  • Boot Configuration Database (BCD): Builds the operating system selection menu; similar to boot.ini in previous versions of Windows, but data resides in the BCD store



  • winload.exe: Loads the Vista operating system if selected from the operating system selection menu provided by BCD



  • winresume.exe: Resumes the Vista operating system if the system is started from a hibernate state
