>>Only a moron would use the NT boot manager A tad strong, I think<g>. Besides, NT isn't a boot manager, it's a multi-boot OS that can only "manage" (in its own fumbling way) copies of itself. I don't use a boot manager because what I have works for my purposes, and I don't feel a need to insert another variable into the environment no matter how venerable and dependable. When and if my need overcomes these considerations, that may change. Another point, which may or may not be minor: In my brief investigation of the boot manager that comes with Partition Magic (an adaptation of OS/2 boot manager, I think), I discovered that it hides the partitions with non-booting OSs it manages. I will not say I investigated thoroughly and there may be a way around it, but this would be totally unacceptable to my operation.
