In Windows 3.1, additional options are available, such as /3, which starts Windows in 386 enhanced mode, and /S, which starts Windows in standard mode [2] A startup sound was first added in Windows 3.0 after installing the Multimedia Extensions (MME), [ 3 ] but not enabled by default until Windows 3.1.
The upper nibble is ignored, and can either be zero, or the leading-nibble for the ASCII character (value 3). [2] BCD numbers are generally assumed to be stored in the lowest byte of a register, e.g. AL; operations on unpacked BCD numbers expect the least significant digit in the lowest byte of a register, e.g. AL, and the most significant ...

The MBR boot code and the VBR boot code are OS-specific. In Microsoft Windows, the MBR boot code tries to find an active partition (the MBR is only 512 bytes), then executes the VBR boot code of an active partition. The VBR boot code tries to find and execute the bootmgr file from an active partition. [3]
The four parameters (in parentheses) will vary, but the first is always 0x0 for an MCE. [3] Example: STOP: 0x00000124 (0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000) Older versions of Windows use the Machine Check Architecture, with STOP code 0x9C, MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION.
