I've used Boot Magic - good. And stock Windows boot manager - plain and very sufficient. As stated before and many times to come - I love GRUB. <ggg> I'm happy you've got it going now. I find total reinstalls quite fulfilling because things get setup nice and fresh with a much leaner registry. ;) -- Cheers, Ben

The main thing is to not freak out when you make a mistake - and understand that you *can* get it all back ;-) > > I'm happy you've got it going now. > > I find total reinstalls quite fulfilling because things get setup nice > and fresh with a much leaner registry. ;) > I agree - but I hate having to reinstall and reauthorise everything.

Don't you get it? ;-) As a matter of fact I'm going to download a 128 bit emulator for the sooperphat sound. It's just like "analogue". (that's BBC analog) Plus I'm sure I can hear the extra bits in my beetz. My ears are sensitive to this sort of thing ever since that firecracker went off next to my face... The *real* reason for all this is the RAM... ;-) -- =========== John Braner jbraner(a)NOblueyonderSPAM.co.uk http://cdbaby.com/cd/JohnBraner http://www.soundclick.com/johnbraner

If I used math, instead of a B Side, I'd have C and D Sides. ;) -- Cheers, Ben |
