Explain XP Boot process?

Can someone explain the boot process simply? I'm trying to understand the
relationship between the Master Boot Record and the boot.ini file. I've
found online articles that talk about each one separately, but none that
take you all the way from pushing the "on button" all the way through
displaying your complete desktop.

Purely an academic question....

Thanks.
