Hello,

I have two bootable OS's on my system, one tweaked for games, and the other form my graphic and publishing work. At boot up I make my selection from the list that is shown after post. My question is, can this list be edited? It would help to see something other than “Windows 2000 Pro yada yada yada”

I’m about to add a third OS just to run NERO 6, it can’t burn DVDs because it as many issues with my other burn software. Nero’s advice to me was to remove the other software, but I can’t do that, that software does things NERO can’t. *sigh* Another OS to boot from.


Thanks

Computers are like a bag of hammers, they won't do a damn thing until you pick it up and SMASH something with it!!
 
Brimestone,

There's several ways to do this:
1) Edit your boot.ini
2) Use msconfig (start -> run -> msconfig)
3) Right-click My Computer, choose properties. No box here to verify, but it's something like System Properties and then Startup and Recovery or something.
