I don't know if it was Windows or the BIOS that changed the active status on my primary partition on drive C and I am not going to worry about it any more. Was this a one time occurrence? Do you have to use FDISK every time you go from disk two to disk one? To my knowledge the bios boot selection procedure is not a standard procedure. There may be drawbacks...your input is appreciated. The KOT concept and a standard multiboot procedure with a multiboot program vary slightly as to their function. If one is interested in multiple operating systems multiboot programs may be the best way to go. The advantage of the KOT drive IMO is the independent? nature of the second drive. In the event of a harddrive failure one should be able to restore operations in short order. I have experienced many harddrive failures. My goal with the KOT drive is to provide a fast and simple method to recover from harddrive failures and software installation/configuration problems. The bios boot selection option is one means to that end. Removable harddrives would be another. Zeuspaul
