Log Files




Windows 9x log files are:
  • BOOTLOG.TXT - This file is created during the first boot after setup. The creation of a new BOOTLOG.TXT can be done by hitting F8 at startup and choosing "Logged" mode. The previous copy of BOOTLOG.TXT will be renamed to BOOTLOG.PRV. This log shows the boot process steps and whether they were successful or failed.
  • DETLOG.TXT - This log shows the steps performed in detecting the system's hardware and is created anytime that hardware detection occurs such as during installation and when adding new hardware components.
  • SETUPLOG.TXT - This file is created during installation of Windows 9x and records all the options chosen during setup.
