So now the question is....

 

How To Safe Boot Windows 7

To safe boot Windows, you first need to access Advanced Booting Option.There are two ways to access Advanced Booting Option:
1.When system boots up
2.Through system configuration
 
1.When System Boots Up

This is the fastest way to get into advanced boot options in Windows.Keep tapping F8 button immediately after your system is ON.If you were fast enough and lucky you would see Adanced Boot Options instead of Windows boot screen.

If you're F8 key is not working, or if in rare case, if your system is like ssuuppeerr fast - this method won't work for you.

2.Through System Configuration
