Right-click My Computer, then Properties. Select Advanced, then Settings of Startup and Recovery. Click the Edit button, then Notepad opens boot.ini. It should look like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
Add this to the end:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Safe mode with bootlog" /safeboot:minimal /bootlog
Now it looks like this:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Safe mode with bootlog" /safeboot:minimal /bootlog
Save it, reboot, don´t press F5 or F8. You see a boot menu, select "Safe mod with bootlog". After the BSOD reboot to normal mode, then you´ll find ntbtlog.txt in your Windows dir, that´s the boot log.
