Ntldr resides on the system volume; the boot-sector code on the system volume executes Ntldr. Ntldr reads the Boot.ini file from the system volume and presents the computer’s boot choices to the user. The partition names that Boot.ini designates are in the form multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1).
CPU column of task manager,corresponds to spending time in an execution state during the last Task Manager snapshot.
As mentioned previously, the thread is the dispatchable unit in Windows 2000, not the process. Every thread represents an instruction stream that is eligible to execute on the processor.
When you boot from the Windows CD or the boot disks, by the time the system gives you the choice to install or repair Windows, the CD has booted a copy of the Windows kernel, including all necessary supporting device drivers (for example, NTFS or FAT drivers, SCSI drivers, a video driver).
Dynamic disks are partitioned using Logical Disk Manager (LDM) partitioning.
Mirrored volumes are the only multipartition volume type supported for system and boot volumes. The reason for this is that the Windows boot code, including the MBR code and Ntldr, don’t have the sophistication required to understand multipartition volumes—mirrored volumes are the exception because the boot code treats them as simple volumes, reading from the half of the mirror marked as the boot or system drive in the MBR-style partition table. Because the boot code doesn’t modify the disk, it can safely ignore the other half of the mirror.
