Windows NT is a family of operating systems produced by Microsoft, the first version of which was released in July 1993.

It is a high-level-language-based, processor-independent, multiprocessing, multi-user operating system.

NT was the first fully 32-bit version of Windows, whereas its consumer-oriented counterparts, Windows 3.1x and Windows 9x, were 16-bit/32-bit hybrids. Windows NT 3.1 was the first

version of Windows to utilize 32-bit "flat" virtual memory addressing on 32-bit processors. Its companion product,

Windows 3.1, used segmented addressing and switches from 16-bit to 32-bit addressing in pages.

MAIN FEATURES

• Extensibility• Portability• Reliability• Compatibility

WHY WINDOWS NT WAS DESIGNED ?

A main design goal of NT was hardware and software portability. Microsoft decided to create a portable operating

system, compatible with OS/2, POSIX and supporting multiprocessing.

WHY WINDOWS NT FAILS ?

•When you start a computer running Windows, the boot process may not succeed, if the Ntdetect.com file is missing or damaged and you may receive the following error message: NTDetect Failed

•If a problem occurs after selecting Windows NT from the boot loader screen, files that are needed by the operating system might be missing or corrupt.

•If you have installed new hardware or new drivers, they could be causing the problem.

•The computer hangs immediately after the Power On Self Test (POST).•You do not see the boot loader screen. •Missing operating system. •A disk read error occurred. •Insert a system diskette and restart the system.  •Invalid partition table. •Hard Disk Error. •Hard Disk Absent/Failed. •The Master Boot Record is corrupt. •The Partition Boot Sector is corrupt. •The Boot.ini file is missing•The Windows NT boot loader, NTLDR, is missing or corrupt•Hardware has malfunctioned. 

WHY WINDOWS NT FAILS ?

CONCLUSION

Windows NT is a symmetric multiprocessing operating system which support multiple operating system

environments. It has a Windows graphical user interface and runs Win32, 16-bit Windows, MS-DOS, POSIX, and OS/2 program. It employs advanced operating system principles

such as virtual memory, preemptive multitasking, structured exception handling, and operating system objects. It is

secure, powerful, reliable, and flexible.
