Thanks DEX.
Both products are impressive. I can understand that want a small fee for the product. But right now I a bad time for use to make more purchases. ust upgraded to a refurbished Dell computer, which the fist time I have have a factory built PC in about sis years.
One of the issues with boot managers is if they follow the Microsoft standers for how the MBR is now defined. I have notices that after using some other OS and I want to repair Windows 2000, I get a message that the MBR appears to be non-standard. This makes me thing there is something that other boot managers do the differs from Microsoft. In the past I have got into a case where I could not boot up my system except with the help of the third-party utility to fix whatsoever it did to the MBR. I believe it was the Norton Part ion Magic that did that to me. So I am reluctant to use a third-party manager unless it is really good. But then it would cost. Thanks anyway.
