where C: is a System root drive.

Open Run, type "msconfig" and press Enter to open System Configuration Utility. Select the tab labelled BOOT.INI. Click the button labelled Check All Boot Paths. A dialog box will open detailing the location of any invalid operating system locations.

You can use ipconfig /all to display all of the current TCP/IP configuration values, including the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) and DNS configurations.

☛ Open Run, type "msconfig" and press Enter. A system configuration window will pop up; now go to the Boot tab, check the "Safe boot" box and select "Minimal" for a typical safe boot. Click Apply and your computer will boot into Safe Mode the next time it restarts.

☛ Reboot the computer. Start pressing the F8 key as soon as your system starts to boot. This will open multiple boot options including Safe Mode.

Often, we have to start Windows in Safe Mode in order to remove spyware or for troubleshooting driver problems and other diagnostic purposes. Only specific programs and files with limited driver support are needed to run the operating system. This will allow you to attempt to remove viruses, change bad drivers and perform other diagnostic tasks that cannot be done in Normal Mode.

Boot.ini files are required in booting Windows operating systems, starting with Windows NT. The boot.ini file also provides flexibility for dual booting multiple operating systems on the same computer.

A default gateway is a routing device used to forward all traffic that is not addressed to a destination within the local network or local sub-net. If you don't have a default gateway, it is not possible to communicate with the network device/host of different networks. Dial-up internet connections do not require a default gateway though because it is present in the ISP itself.

Using "tracert" command lets you see the path traveled by a packet to its destination.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is used to resolve human-readable host names like www.rendc.org into machine-readable IP addresses like 69.143.201.22. The DNS address is configured on workstations. Windows redirects all domain names to resolve into IP addresses.
