Yes the using a boot manager is superior in every aspect to the switching in the BIOS. I think if you tried it you would agree.

Question: Have you have ever tried??


Yes, I have a multiboot NT/Win95 machine.

If so, what did you like and dislike??

The multiboot works with no problems.

I had a little trouble setting up all of the drives to work in both operating systems, particularly the LS120. It has a Zip, LS120, floppy, 2.6 GB MO, and a 9GB drive with 4 partitions (FAT format for access by both operating systems) and then network drives through Z.

I do not want to reconfigure the machine if someone accidently messes it up or the harddrive fails. The boot manager does not rescue me. It is not a recovery strategy. All it does is give me multiple operating systems.
