Selecting a system. It is only necessary to use the boot manager functionality on systems that have more than one primary partition.
Graphical interface
The boot manager has a similar graphical user interface to the Windows 2000/XP boot menu and should be used in the same way:
The example above gives the user the option to either boot from C only, or to have an extra partition visible in Windows (C + D). This demonstrates that a boot partition, plus optional partitions, can be defined in the boot manager configuration file.
Manual approach
To achieve this functionality, a hands-on, manual approach is necessary, for example, the boot menu entries specified in the boot manager configuration file are identified and entered into the configuration file per keyboard (there is no automated application that will achieve this for you). Do not worry about making a wrong entry here – you cannot go wrong provided you follow this guide accurately.
