Create a boot menu

[AP81]

Hey guys,

I am trying to make a boot menu for Windows Me. I want it on boot to say something like:

Select choice:
1. Boot Normally
2. Boot SafeMode
3. Boot from CD

Timeout 10

Is this as simple as editing a boot.ini file?

I would normally do this with the LILO or GRUB linux bootloaders, but the problem here is when you ghost a hard drive it cannot properly ghost GRUB or LILO on the new disk.

If anyone has had luck with a ghostable boot loader, I'd be very interested to hear about it.

Any ideas, suggestions or help are welcome.

Thanks heaps,
Adam

I managed to get a menu to appear by editing the msdos.sys file, but am still working on the booting from CD-ROM.

Had you considered setting up the BIOS for CD boot and assume that the user would want to boot from there if he put a CD in.
You could do it in command prompt as supplied by the boot menu supplied by the msdos.sys.
