or you can use bootmanager and not worry about and have more flexilibty all at the same time. You ought to read up on it before you dismiss it. I do not think we are talking about the same thing. A boot manager is resident on the harddrive. If the harddrive fails so does the boot manager. Is that correct or am I misunderstanding how a boot manager works? I am not arguing against boot managers. Boot managers are great for their intended use. A bios select option is independent of the harddrive. If the first harddrive fails the bios select option still works. A boot manager is used to choose between different operating systems. Do you agree? A KOT drive is used in the event of a drive failure or a software configuration bust. I see it as apples and oranges. Zeuspaul
