In Windows 2000/XP you will have 3 choices for Safe Mode and the difference of these modes is as follows:
Safe Mode - Starts Windows 2000 using only basic files and drivers (mouse, except serial mice; monitor; keyboard; mass storage; base video; default system services; and no network connections).
Safe mode with Networking - Starts Windows 2000 using only basic files and drivers, plus network connections.
Safe Mode with Command Prompt - Starts Windows 2000 using only basic files and drivers. After logging on, the command prompt is displayed instead of the Windows desktop.
