How to force Vista Boot Menu
Is this not the way a boot manager on the second drive is found? No, not with OS/2. The OS/2 MBR code scans the partition table in the MBR on the first drive, looking for a Boot Manager entry. If found, and it's marked active, it boots it. If the scan for Boot Manager fails, it looks for it on the second drive,

Multi OS Partitioning Problem.
And, each partition has a "partition boot sector". Have you tested booting into Vista via a Win 98 MBR? Yes, I tried it with one of the Vista Release Candidates and Note te disk signature belongs to the boot-partition and the 3 bytes at 01B5-01B7 belongs to the IPL. The disk signature can you find back in the

Dual partition booting
What can I say, it worked after boot for me. I do remember two rpm updates from cooker so you might have snagged a bad one. I may take another try at it this coming weekend. My suggestion, use e2label to label your partitions prior to install to bypass the UUID setup. :) I'll have to man e2label on that.

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
SYS statements would not work, and the system wouldn't boot. Currently AiR-BOOT v0.28b does the following, when booting logical partitions: a) Marking the logical partition active b) Marking the first primary partition that is found on the system as active (this feature is new, it's done because some BIOSes check

Need advice on setting up a dual boot vista / xp?
Why and for what purpose do you want to change the active flag on the primary partition? change ? It gets reset on any partition at partition scan time (which means every boot) and gets set when the user has selected what partition to boot. If you have installed OS/2 in the logical partition it will boot from there

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
That would be a silly thing for a boot manager to do, since that would take it out of the boot loop (the BIOS would boot the partition just maked startable directly on the next reboot). If the BIOS would execute boot-records, then you would be probably right. A fact is: It has never done and will never do it.

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
Many drive vendors provide diagnostics (usually in the form of a DOS boot image, so you may have to move the drive to a system that can boot from floppy, or install a DOS partition on another machine). You can purchase adapters to connect a laptop drive to a desktop IDE cable. Many laptop CD-ROM drives share

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
It doesn't copy the not used space and even compress the data ;-) I once needed to restore that file, which I've places on a DVD with booting the XP "Ultimate boot CD" which has SelfImage on it.

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
The same for hiding partitions. AiR-BOOT will *unhide* the complete system on startup, to ensure that everything is the way the user wants it. First on bootup (when the user has selected a partition to boot) AiR-BOOT will look what partitions to hide and will hide them only. It will not go through the whole

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
IIRC, the MBR is a sector that contains executable code, the partition table, and ends with 55 AA. And, each partition has a "partition boot sector". Have you tested booting into Vista via a Win 98 MBR? Yes, I tried it with one of the Vista Release Candidates and Vista failed to boot after the change.

Installed Vista dual boot, think I screwed up!
I partition the booting physical drive into small C: (boot/os), and balance of space to E:. The rest of my physical drives are single partition -- one drive is D:, another is F:, another is G: and so on. The main thing is C: is pretty small and contains only the OS and installed proggies, for fast imaging.

Can't install bootcamp??? All I did was partition my hard disk...
IIRC, the MBR is a sector that contains executable code, the partition table, and ends with 55 AA. And, each partition has a "partition boot sector". Have you tested booting into Vista via a Win 98 MBR? From a post I made about a year ago: David: I did some testing to see if Vista does change the MBR.

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
The business of hiding partitions in order to do a boot selection was not working either when on a network or when using NTFS partitions; it would require frequent use of the recovery floppies to undo the messed up hiding and active partition settings. I never tried either of those guys on this T20; I've used NTLDR

Question about OS/2 and Extended Partition Booting
Normally, the older OS must be installed first unless you wish to acquire and use some 3rd-party partition and boot management utility. (In which case you have to follow the instructions provided by whatever 3rd party solution you select.) However, dual-booting is no longer necessary in most situations.

HD problems
There are three entities when BM is installed in the boot process. The MBR, BM, and the booting partition. The MBR has the address of the partition to boot (by searching for it), which for discussion purposes here is BM. BM has a partition table in it. When you select, or let the default be used, it then boots that
