Attempting to install Windows 7, the installation appears to be stuck in a loop where Windows attempts to load, fails, restarts, and fails again. What advanced boot options menu would prove helpful in this situation?
  1. Directory Services Restore Mode
  2. Debugging Mode
  3. Disable Automatic Restart on System Failure
  4. Disable driver signature enforcement
Explanation
Answer: C - The Disable Automatic Restart on System Failure option on the advanced boot options menu would prove helpful in the situation of a restart loop.

Key Takeaway: This feature, unique to Windows 7 and Vista, disables the default automatic restart on failure that is causing this loop to occur. Disable Driver Signature enforcement is also unique to Windows 7 and Vista, but deals specifically with device drivers. Debugging mode but be helpful for diagnostics, but it doesn’t help here. The Directory Services Restore Mode restores a Domain Controller’s active directory-so it is actually not used in Windows 7.
