boot partitionThe boot partition is the disk partition that contains the Windows operating system files and its support files, but not any files responsible for booting.
A boot disk is a removable digital data storage medium from which a computer can load and run an operating system or utility program. A boot disk (sometimes called a startup disk) is a type of removable media, such as a floppy disk or a CD, that contains startup files that your computer can use to start Windows. The startup files are also stored on your computer's hard disk, but if those startup files become damaged, you can use the files on a boot disk to start Windows. In earlier operating systems that used the FAT or FAT32 file systems, such as Windows 95 and Windows 98, a boot disk was especially useful because it allowed a person to access files on a hard disk even if Windows was unable to start. This ability also represented a security risk, because anyone with a boot disk and access to the computer could start the computer and access any file. Hard disks formatted with NTFS have built-in security features that prevent using a boot disk to access files. The Windows installation disc contains the files necessary to start Windows, so it is itself a boot disk. If a problem is preventing Windows from starting, you can use the installation CD to start Windows. The installation CD also contains Startup Repair, which you can use to repair Windows if a problem prevents it from starting correctly. Startup Repair can automatically fix many of the problems that in the past required a boot disk to fix

== == You might be able to get Windows to boot into Safe Mode. As soon as you press the power button, begin pressing the F5 key, over and over again, until the computer begins to beep. (If it does. Some won't.) This should bypass the files that Windows normally boots from, and boot Windows into Safe Mode. If you are successful, look at the contents of 'C' drive to find out if any files have been added, or changed. You may need an experienced Windows technician to help you.
