I am planning to try to adopt the approach for use with FreeBSD as the UNIX rather than Linux (but haven't gotten there yet). However, the reference does discuss how WinNT, Win95 and DOS all rename the boot sector hidden files and how to manage them with the WinNT multi-booter. Caveat - I have not attempted to use the info yet - I just found the web page. Nonetheless, here's the URL: http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~sedmison/directboot.html Good luck, and please let me know if it works (via email if you wish). After my previous posting, I did sucessfully use the info in the above-referenced web page. I found one minor error in the section which describes editing the boot.ini file which I have sent to the page owner. I now have a system which multi-boots DOS 6.22, Win95 and WinNT sucessfully. -- ---------- Deborah Gronke Bennett (WD5HJH) kernel and device drivers engineer deborah@microunity.com (408)-734-8100 MicroUnity Systems Eng., 255 Caspian Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94089-1015 USA
