Don,
Excellent catch, my friend!!! I can't believe I neglected to include
the option of cloning the OS drive. I recall that I did that the first time
I installed a second drive (Actually, I manually installed Win98 on the
first partition of two different drives, made one a slave of the other and
discovered that they automatically took the letters C & D, even though there
were several other partitions on the first drive). That was a big
revelation for me back then. Unfortunatly, that method doesn't add the boot
menu, but it was still cool to know that I had a fully functional backup OS
just in case something went wrong with the C partition. :O)
I intend to bring up the letter assignments rules soon under the main
thread.
Peace,
GMan
