How To Guard Against Boot Failure With a Windows NT Boot Disk
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 101668 When Windows NT is
installed on a computer that has an Intel x86-based processor
and the boot record for the active partition or files required
to boot Windows NT becomes corrupted, it is not possible to boot
Windows NT or any other operating system on that computer.
To guard against this situation, create a Windows NT boot disk
when you install Windows NT on the computer. This disk is
different from an MS-DOS boot disk because the entire Windows NT
operating system cannot fit on one disk as MS-DOS can. A Windows
NT boot disk contains the files necessary to start the operating
system with the remainder of the Windows NT system files
installed on the hard disk drive

How to Use the Special Pool Feature to Isolate Pool Damage
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 188831 -
Pool damage may be the root cause of many of the most evasive issues with Windows NT. Pool damage is caused when a kernel-mode component writes to memory outside of its allocated pool area.
By writing to memory beyond the boundary of its allocated area,
it is likely that another area of allocated memory, possibly
owned by another component, is overwritten. This damage can
cause problems such as blue screens in completely unrelated
areas of code. A kernel-mode component reading beyond its
allocated area can also cause problems.
Specifying the Debugger for Unhandled User Mode Exceptions
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article: 121434 - Windows NT allows you to specify a post mortem debugger for unhandled User mode exceptions. A general protection (GP) fault message is one of the many examples of a User mode exception. This allows you to see what went wrong in the code by
examining where the program caused the fault, as well as the condition of registers, memory, and the stack. By default, Windows NT used a 32-bit version of Dr. Watson as a post mortem debugger. You can change the default debugger for unhandled user mode exceptions, by editing the
