Adding SafeBoot to the Boot Menu

You can add Safeboot as an option to the normal XP boot screen

   2. Copy the current c:\boot.ini to another name (just in case)
   3. With your favorite text editor, edit c:\boot.ini
   4. Copy then edit the current boot line to another line. For example:
      multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
      might copy and then change to:
      multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional Safeboot" /fastdetect
   5. Start MSCONFIG
   6. Click on the BOOT.INI tab
   7. Highlight the second line with the additional name of Safeboot
   8. Check the /SAFEBOOT box with option you want
      Minimal - Minimal set of drivers
      Network - With Network Support
      Dsrepair - Directory Services Repair
      Minimal (Alternate Shell) - Standard Explorer Desktop
   9. You will now have this option every time you start XP
