Always recording ntbtlog.txt; archiving old ones

Always recording ntbtlog.txt; archiving old ones

A friend's Vista Home Premium occasionally hangs on boot (the progress bar runs and runs for hours, but won't boot). I know that if I hit F8 during boot, I can enable boot logging in ntntlog.txt, but this only works for that boot. It's no help if you can't duplicate the hang because it occurs ingrequently on someelse's laptop.

"Control Panel -> Admin Tools -> System Configuration -> Boot Tab -> Select Boot Log option.

This should keep appending all boot log data to %systemroot%\ntbtlog.txt - It should not overwrite older log data, all new entries should be appended on every boot."
