what required files are loaded before loading the whole XP system?

[albertlee]

As in DOS, the required files like autoexec.bat, config.sys, io.sys, etc being loaded first, are used to load the files to run the whole system.......

Apart from DOS,
what required files are loaded before loading the whole XP system?

apreciate the responds
