Summary
Windows 7 automatically installs WinRE and improves startup, shutdown, and sleep recovery times. Although the startup improvements over Windows Vista are minimal, Windows Vista introduced many improvements over Windows XP that Windows 7 continues to support. These features include:
Windows Boot Manager
Windows Boot Loader
The BCD registry file and the BCDEdit command-line tool
System Recovery tools
Startup Repair
If you are familiar with earlier versions of Windows, you will be comfortable troubleshooting most problems that occur in the kernel loading phase of startup or later. Fortunately, you (or any user) can resolve many common startup problems simply by running the Startup Repair tool from the Windows DVD.
