Ombudsman Statement:

This  program is produced by a member of the Association  of
Shareware Professionals (ASP).  ASP wants to make sure  that
the shareware principle works for you.  If you are unable to
resolve  a  shareware-related problem with an ASP member  by
contacting  the member directly, ASP may be  able  to  help.
The  ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem
with  an  ASP member, but does not provide technical support
for members' products.  Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at

Definition of Shareware:

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try  software
before  buying  it.   If  you try a  Shareware  program  and
continue using it, you are expected to register.  Individual
programs differ on details - some request registration while
others  require  it,  some specify a maximum  trial  period.
With registration, you get anything from the simple right to
continue  using  the  software to an  updated  program  with
printed manual.

Copyright  laws  apply  to  both  Shareware  and  commercial
software, and the copyright holder retains all rights,  with
a  few  specific  exceptions  as  stated  below.   Shareware
authors  are accomplished programmers, just like  commercial
authors, and the programs are of comparable quality (In both
cases,  there  are  good programs and bad ones!).  The  main
difference  is in the distribution.  The author specifically
grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either
to all and sundry or to a specific group.  For example, some
authors require written permission before a commercial  disk
vendor may copy their Shareware.

Shareware  is a distribution method, not a type of software.
The  Shareware  system  makes  fitting  your  needs  easier,
because  you  can  try  before you buy.  Also,  because  the
overhead is low, prices are low.  Shareware has the ultimate
money-back  guarantee - if you don't use  the  product,  you
don't pay for it.

System Requirements:

100%   IBM  compatible  personal  computer  with  an  i80386
compatible  microprocessor and at least one  diskette  drive
and  one  hard  drive.   4  MB  free  space  to  create  the
installation  diskette and 10 MB free (unpartitioned)  space
for  installation.   BootIt includes a utility to resize FAT
partitions  which  can be used to obtain  the  unpartitioned
space.

Before you Begin

TeraByte Unlimited has taken every effort to make BootIt  as
safe  as possible; however, it is not possible to provide  a
100 percent guarantee of safety.

It   is  extremely  important  that  you  do  not  use   any
partitioning software (such as FDISK).  If you  ignore  this
warning you are taking a serious risk of data corruption.

Before  using BootIt on any system for the first time,  BACK
UP ALL DATA on ALL HARD DRIVES.  It's better to be safe than
sorry.

It's always a good idea to have a system disk, such as a DOS
boot  diskette or Windows 95 Startup Diskette, that  can  be
used  to  boot your system should something ever  go  wrong.
You  should  configure the diskette  to  give  you  all  the
function you may need.  This includes adding any drivers  or
utilities as well as configuring the configuration files.

To  create  a  DOS  boot diskette use the  DOS  FORMAT  A:/S
command.   You  should  also  copy  the  following  external
commands  to the diskette:  SYS, FDISK, FORMAT, ATTRIB,  and
DEBUG.   If  you think you may need access to  your  CD  ROM
drive  or  another device then be sure to copy the  required
drivers  to the diskette.  Windows 95/98 users can  use  the
"Startup Disk" tab to create the diskette.

What BootIt Does:

·    Allows you to create up to 255 primary partitions.
·    Configure up to 100 boot configurations to fit your
needs.
·    Boot from any partition on up to eight hard drives.
·    Boot multiple operating system from a single FAT or
FAT32 partition.
·     Logical swap hard drives in order to boot DOS  from  a
  hard drive other than the first.
·    Logical swap floppy drives.
·    Boot from the A: or B: drive on the fly.
·    Resize FAT or FAT32 partitions as well as convert
between them.
·    Format FAT or FAT32 partitions.
·    Create and format FAT volumes in extended partitions.
·    Create boot menus for individual users.
·    and much, much more.


Limitations:

BootIt relies on the BIOS for processing disk functions.  If
your  computer BIOS limits access to the hard drive for  any
reason  and  no  (MDT) driver is available  to  correct  the
limitation,  BootIt will also be limited.   BootIt  supports
BIOS  LBA  Mode  and  Interrupt 13h  extensions.   The  BIOS
"large" mode is not supported.



Getting Started

1)   Make sure you have read the previous section titled
  "Before You Begin".
2)   If you need to create a system diskette (such as a DOS
  boot diskette or Windows 95/98/NT Startup Diskette), do so
  now.
3)   Backup all the data on all of your hard drives.
4)   Create the installation diskette by following the steps
  in the installation section of this document.
5)   Install/upgrade BootIt on your hard drive by following
the steps in the installation section of this document.
6)   Read the "BootIt 2 overview for first time users"
  section of this document.
7)   Read through the "EMBR Manager" section of this
document.
8)   If you have existing partitions, use the "BootIt Boot

Installation STEP 1:

Installation of BootIt 2 is a two step process.   First  you
will  create  the installation diskette, then you  will  use
that  diskette to install BootIt to your hard drive.   Visit
www.TeraByteUnlimited.com to make sure you have  the  latest
version  of  this  software as well as  for  any  additional
information/help.

The  BOOTIT.ZIP package will only contain the 3.5"  diskette
image.   If  you  need  the  5.25"  disk  image  then  visit
www.terabyteunlimited.com.

Before  beginning the installation of BootIt make  sure  you
have read the previous section titled "Before You begin".

The  following instructions will guide you through the first
step  of  the  installation process.  This step creates  the
installation  diskette.   Windows users  may  use  the  File
Manager and Win95 users the Windows Explorer to execute  the
steps listed.

You will need one formatted diskette that matches the floppy
drive  A:  of the computer that will have BootIt  installed.
Do   NOT  use  an  existing  BootIt  installation  diskette.
Information is added to the diskette during installation  of
BootIt.   If you overwrite that information you may  not  be
able to recover from certain potential problems.  If you are
installing  on multiple machines, each machine  should  have
its own diskette (and license).

1)   Extract the BOOTIT.ZIP file to its own directory.

2)   Change to the directory used in step 1.
3)    Type  BOOTIT then press <enter> or Windows  users  can
  double click on BOOTIT.EXE.

4)    If  you  have accepted the terms, select  the  correct
  diskette drive from the menu and press <enter>.  You will be
  prompted to insert the diskette and press enter when ready.

5)   Insert the diskette in to the correct diskette drive
and press enter.  After about a minute it will confirm
either that the installation diskette was created or that
the diskette is bad.
6)    If  the diskette was bad, get a new formatted diskette
  and repeat the appropriate steps otherwise you're done with
  step one.

Once you have successfully created the installation diskette
you can proceed with step two on the next page.

Installation STEP 2:

The following instructions will guide you through the second
step of the installation process.  This step installs BootIt
to your hard drive.  There are two options for installation;
Automatic and Manual.  The manual section is broken down  in
to separate sections.  Each section performs a specific task
required for installation.

If  you  are  upgrading  an existing version,  skip  to  the
section below marked "Upgrading".

 Boot From the Installation Diskette:

1)   Make sure your system boot up sequence is A:/C: and not
  C:/A:.  This information is found in the CMOS setup.   You
  should also disable the boot sector virus protection option.
  If  you leave the virus protection option enabled then  it
  will just get in the way.

2)   Shut down and turn off your computer.

3)    Insert  the BootIt installation diskette  in  your  A:
  drive then turn on your computer.

4)    If  your system boots up as it normally does, see step
  1,  otherwise BootIt will start to load from the diskette.
  It will first run through some quick checks on your system.
  If any potential problems are found you will be notified of
  the  problem.   After  all  checks  are  done  the  BootIt
  Installation Menu is displayed.

Deciding on an Installation Method:

Choose   the  installation  option  of  your  choice.    The
automatic option will automatically take care of most of the
steps required for installation.  The manual option requires
you to do several steps to complete installation.

Automatic Installation:

1)    Highlight Automatic or hit A to start the installation
  process.

2)    If  BootIt cannot find free space on any of your  hard
  drives,  it will give you the option to run the  FAT  Away
  utility.   If you require help using the FAT Away utility,
  see that section of this manual.

3)    Once  installation  has completed remove  installation
  diskette and press enter twice to reboot your computer.

4)   Continue with the Confirming Installation and Finishing
  Up Section.

Manual   Installation  -  Create  the  BootIt   installation
partition.

1)    From  the  BootIt Installation menu choose the  Manual
  Option to display the EMBRM menu.

2)    From  the  EMBRM menu select "Hard Drive 0" and  press
  <enter>.

3)    You  will get a message stating that the EMBR  doesn't
  exist  and  the option to create it.  Answer with  "Y"  to
  create the EMBR.  When the EMBR is created the current MBR
  and EMBR area are backed up to a file called BACKHD0.

4)    Verify  that  your current partition  information  was
  added  to  the  MPT.   If  for some reason  the  partition
  information did not get added to the MPT, press the escape
  key then the enter key to abort the EMBR creation.  If you
  received an error that the EMBR could not be created, it may
  be that the diskette you are using is bad.

5)    If you want to rename your existing partitions now you
  can do so.  Each partition should have a unique name.  Press
  tab  until  you enter the MPT list box.  Use  the  up/down
  arrows to select a partition.  Press enter to edit the name
  of the partition and enter to accept the new name.

6)    Create a partition for BootIt.  Either tab to "Add New
  Entry"  and press <enter> or tab to the MPT and press  the
  insert key.  If you choose "Add New Entry", it will ask for
  the type of entry to add; choose P.  Next it allows you to
  choose  the  unallocated block from which  to  create  the
  partition.   If you do not have enough unallocated  space,
  continue  with the next step, otherwise, choose  whichever
  block you want and press <enter>.  Next it will ask you for
  the size of the partition.  The recommended partition size
  is  at least 10MB although you can use a smaller partition
  size  such as 5MB.  Once you enter the partition size  you
  want, it asks if you want to allocate high (meaning at the
  end of the unallocated block), once you answer that question
  the  partition details dialog will be displayed.  Name the
  partition "BootIt EMBRM", press tab, assign it file system
  id.  223  then  press  <enter> to accept  the  information
  entered.

7)    Save  the  EMBR.  To save the EMBR tab to  "Save"  and
  press <enter>.

8)   It confirms that the save completed.  Press enter to
continue.
9)   It asks if you want to format the new BootIt EMBRM
partition.  Choose Yes.
10)   Your now back at the EMBRM menu.  If you did not  have
  enough free space to create the partition in step 6 and have
  more  than  one hard drive then you can choose a different
  hard drive and return to step 2.  Otherwise, continue to the
  next step.

11)   For  each additional hard drive you want converted  to
  use the EMBR, choose it from the menu, and follow steps 2,
  3, 4, and 7

12)  If you successfully created the BootIt installation
partition then continue with step 15
13)   You will need to resize one of your FAT partitions  in
  order to install BootIt.

14)  Select Utilities and press <enter>.
15)  Run the FAT Away utility and reduce the size of one of
your FAT partitions.
16)  Use the Escape key to return to the EMBRM menu.
17)  Select the hard drive which contained the FAT partition
  you resized then perform steps 6, 7, 8, and 9.

18)  Select Utilities and press <enter>.

19)  Press Escape until you return to the utility menu.
Manual  Installation  - Install BootIt to  the  Installation
Partition.

1)    Select "BootIt Install" and press <enter>.  Choose the
  hard  drive/partition  that you created  in  the  previous
  section.  It will begin coping files to the hard drive.  You
  will  receive  a message that BootIt has been successfully
  copied to the partition. Press enter to continue.

2)    Press Escape until the system tells you to press enter
  to  reboot.   Remove  the diskette and  press  <enter>  to
  complete the installation.

3)   Congratulations, you have just completed the
installation of BootIt 2.  Continue with the next section.
Confirming installation and Finishing up.

1)   If your system already has an operating system setup on
  it,  select the boot configuration that was created "BOOT"
  and press <enter>.  Your existing OS should boot.

2)    Create a copy of the installation diskette and keep it
  in a safe place.  You will need the installation diskette to
  recover from any problems or situations that may arise  in
  the  future.  Use the disk copy feature  of  one  of  your
  operating systems to create a backup.  If your installation
  diskette is ever updated or new one used you should update
  your backup diskette too.

3)    If  your  BIOS  has  the ability to  change  the  boot
  sequence to C:/A: it is recommended that you do so.

Upgrading

1)    If you are upgrading from version 2.12 or older (lower
  number),  obtain  the "Update Multi-Boot Info  -run  once"
  utility from www.terabyteunlimited.com.   Copy the utility

          an extended partition.
Ver 2.10       Add code to FATAway to make sure Root Dir.
          does not become too large, also fix a problem
          which caused it to increase the root dir. where it
          could have reduced it. Changed the FAT Format OEM
          ID Field to use BOOTITXX, Having it set to BOOTIT
          caused all version of DOS to incorrectly mount the
          partition if the root dir. was not at 512.  The
          incorrect mounting made it look as all data was
          corrupted.  Any attempt to use the partition for
          writes, did corrupt the partition.  Fixed a
          potential problem with the CHS 2 LBA conversion.
          Also Add new feature to have custom menus for
          different people.  Other misc. too, including
          utility to change the OEM ID fields.
Ver 2.11       Updated EMBR specs to indicate partitions
          which must be booted as hard drive zero.  Added
          code to support the new spec by swapping hard
          drives.
Ver 2.12       Added Directory Support.  The Edit Group
          utility/Multi-boot feature now stores all files in
          a directory group beneath a directory \BOOTIT.
          Also added sounds to startup menu and ability to
          set a "default" menu configuration.
Ver 2.13       Added FAT32 to the API which now allows
          BootIt to multi-boot within a FAT32 partition if
          the OS lets you choose directories for its files.
          Changed MB to be calculated as 2048 sectors
          instead of 2000.  FAT Format tells you the cluster
          size it creates.  Other miscellaneous changes.
Ver 2.14       Added ability to capture and use MBR boot
          files.  Changed multi-boot code to fit in boot
          sector.  Removed multi-boot activate/deactivate
          utility; can now toggle the multi-boot bit via the
          MPT.  Fix a problem with FATAway FAT16 to FAT32
          which zeroed the drive number and part of the
          volume/serial number in the boot sector.  Added
          new BootRec utility which will check FAT
          partitions SPT, Drive Number, and head fields in
          the BPB and has the option to change out the boot
          record code for DOS if the DOS code wouldn't boot
          the partition because it was too high on the disk.
          Changed EMBR spec on stack layout coming in to
          Boot Sector, Clearing a MBR box in the menu
          configuration will now clear the MBR for that
          drive if that drive has an EMBR.  other
          miscellaneous changes.
Ver 2.15       Fixed the "MBFT Index Bad!" error which
          occurred if no MBFT entries existed. changed the
          setup to automatically run the EMBRI/EMBRL
          installer.
Ver 2.16       Added Int 13h extensions support.  Fixed a
          rare bug in FATAway FAT32 to FAT12/16 conversion.
Ver 2.17       Fixed problem with creation of small
          partition on the first track of the hard drive,
          Changed the entire FAT multi-boot/multi-os
          process, added a create high option when creating
          a partition, automatic creation of menu boot
          configurations, removed the setting of hard drive
          parameters, other misc.
Ver 2.18       Fixed Creation of Volumes, booting from
          extended partitions.  Added sounds to boot items,
          formatting of partition when created, automatic
          update for multi-os, automatic installation,
          redesign the boot menu, prompting for group name
          when configuring the menu, etc.
BootIt 2 overview for first time users

To  understand  BootIt lets first see how your  system  boot
process  normally  works  then  what  BootIt  and  the  EMBR
changes.

The  first  sector of your hard drive is called  the  Master
Boot  Record or MBR.  The MBR contains two things,  a  table
that  defines the partitions on your hard drive (called  the
partition  table) and the code to transfer  control  to  the
first  sector  (called  the  boot  sector)  of  one  of  the
partitions.   The  partition table can contain  up  to  four
entries.   Each  entry  contains information  on  where  the
partition  begins  and ends as well as a flag  to  mark  the
active  (or bootable) partition and the type of file  system
being used in the partition.

When  control is given to the code in the MBR, it will  look
at  each  of the four partitions for the one that is  marked
active.  It will load the boot sector of that partition  and
transfer control to the boot sector code.

Boot  sectors  are operating and file system specific.   The
area  for the code in the boot sector has just enough  space
to look for a certain file, read it in and transfer control.
The  name of the file is hard coded in the boot sector code.
For  instance, the boot sector for MS DOS will  look  for  a
file called IO.SYS.

There  is  a  special type of partition called  an  extended
partition.    This   type  of  partition  contains   logical
partitions  called volumes.  Each volume is  preceded  by  a
partition  table  in the same format as found  in  the  MBR.
This  table  contains  one  entry  for  a  "normal"  primary
partition and another extended partition entry that "chains"
to  the  next logical volume.  The last volume only contains
the primary partition information.

What  the  Extended Master Boot Record (EMBR)  specification
does  is  extend  the function of the current  MBR  type  of
processing.

The EMBR contains a block of code called the EMBR Loader and
three  tables;  one for partition information, one for  boot
file  information, and one for information on  drivers  that
may  need to be loaded on your system.  Each of these tables
can contain up to 255 entries.

The table in the EMBR that contains partition information is
called  the  Master Partition Table or MPT.  It is  used  in
lieu  of  the  partition table.  For backward  compatibility
with  existing operating systems and disk utilities,  BootIt
allows  you  to create boot configurations which you  choose
partitions  from the MPT and place them into  the  partition
table.   Operating systems and utilities only  see  what  is
placed  into  the  partition table (At some  point  when  an
operating  system  is  loading, it  will  look  at  the  MBR
partition   table  and  assign  access   to   any   of   the
partitions/volumes it recognizes).   Therefore, you can  not
use any utilities that will expand or move a partition if it
only recognizes the MBR partition table.  The only time  you
can  use  such a utility is if you only have four partitions
(total)  in  the  MPT and have them all loaded  in  the  MBR
partition table at the time the utility is run.

The table in the EMBR that contains boot file information is
called  the Master Boot File Table (MBFT).  This information
can  be used by boot sector code to dynamically load a file.
As  was  stated earlier, traditionally boot sector code  has
the boot file name hard coded.

The  last  table  in the EMBR that contains  information  on
drivers is called the Master Driver Table (MDT).  The  EMBRL
is  itself considered a driver.  Other drivers might include
replacement BIOS routines to give your system abilities that
were not originally included.

Your system still starts the same way.  Control is given  to
the  code  in  the MBR.  Under the EMBR specifications  this
code  is  called the EMBR Initiator.  Instead of looking  at
the partition table in the MBR, the EMBRI finds the EMBRL in
the EMBR and transfers control to it.

The  EMBRL then uses its parameter string, MDT, and  MPT  to
figure out what it should do.  Eventually, it loads the boot
sector  of one of the partitions and transfers control  just
like the MBR originally did.

If  the  code in the boot sector is compatible with the,  it
will  be  able to dynamically load a boot file by using  the
information  in the MBFT.  Otherwise, the boot  sector  code
processes itself as normal.

EMBRL Options

The  EMBRL included with BootIt will process the options  as
defined  in the EMBR specification.  It will also allow  you
to boot from a floppy diskette drive.

When  the  EMBRL begins, it will display a message  for  two
seconds  to  let you know you can hold down the right  shift
key  to  boot from the floppy drive.  The BootIt EMBRL  will
allow  booting from either diskette drive.  If it  does  not
find  any diskette in the current A: drive it will swap  the
drives; that is A: becomes B: and B: becomes A:.

During the two second message that notifies you how to  boot
from  the  floppy diskette, you can use the following  keys.
Hold  down the left shift key to not load any drivers.  Hold
down  the  left  control key to only load drivers  that  are
"proven".   Hold down the left alternate key  to  only  load
drivers   that  are  "required".   You  can  mix   the   key
combinations.

The  driver parameter string for the EMBRL consists  of  the
following information.  The parameter string contains  ASCII
values.

Byte  zero  contains the number of seconds  to  wait  before
automatically repeating the last boot.  For example entering
`3' will wait three seconds.

Byte   one  contains  the  boot  drive.   This  is   updated
automatically by the EMBR Manager explained later.

Byte  two contains the last drive number that must be  ready
before  continuing the EMBRL code.  For example if you  have
two hard drives and place a `1' in this byte, the EMBRL will
check if your second drive is ready.  If it is not, then the
EMBRL will wait 5 seconds and then automatically reset  your
computer.

Byte  three contains boot options. Value `1' means that  the
floppy diskette drives should be swapped so that the  A:  is
B:  and  B:  is  A:.   Value `2' will automatically  boot  a
diskette  if it is in the A: drive.  This would be  used  if
you  set your CMOS boot sequence to be C:/A:.  You may  want
to use this if BootIt sets the hard drive parameters or your
system  requires  that  a driver be loaded  at  every  boot.
Value `4' causes the EMBRM to be loaded on every boot.   You
can  combine the values by adding.  For example if you  want
to  force  the  EMBRM to load and swap the  floppy  diskette
drives, you would enter a value of `5'.

EMBR Manager

To  enter the EMBR Manger, press F10 at the Boot Menu.   The
EMBRM is used to configure the EMBR.

Once  you  are at the EMBRM main menu you will  be  able  to
choose which hard drive you want to work with.  You can also
choose the utility menu, change the system colors, or update
the message in the box (if you have registered).

Working with the EMBR

After you choose the hard drive you want to work with on the
main  menu,  you will either be presented with  the  current
EMBR  information or asked if you want to create  the  EMBR.
If  you  are creating a new EMBR then you will be  presented
with  either  a  blank EMBR or an EMBR  with  your  existing
partition information.

On  this  screen you have a list box group for each  of  the
three  tables  and a selection group below the  tables  that
contains  "Add  New Entry", "Save", and "Cancel".   To  move
between the groups use the tab key.  You cannot enter a list
box that is blank.

To  edit an existing entry, tab to the appropriate list  box
and use the arrow keys to select it.  Press the enter key to
edit the entry or the delete key to remove it.

To add an entry to any one of the tables, either tab to that
table and press the insert key or choose the "Add New Entry"
from the selection group.  If you use the selection group it
will ask what type of entry you are adding.  Enter a P for a
partition, B for boot file, or D for driver.

If you would like to change the order of any of the entries,
highlight  the entry you would like to move then  hold  down
the  control key while using the up/down arrow key  to  move
it.

Note that when working with the EMBR, nothing is updated  on
the  hard  drive  until you choose save from  the  selection
group.

MPT

When adding a partition entry, you will be given a choice of
which  unallocated block you want to use for the new  entry.
After  that, you enter the size (in megabytes)  of  the  new
partition  (or  enter  zero to use  the  entire  unallocated
block).    Next,  you  may have the  option  to  create  the
partition  high  or  at  the top of the  unallocated  block.
Finally  you  will  be prompted to enter  the  name  of  the
partition, assign a file system id, indicate if hard  drives
must  be  swapped for booting, and mark if the partition  is
capable of being booted.

The name you enter for the partition should be unique and is
whatever  you want it to be.  The file system ID must  match
that  of  the one you want to create (see the table  below).
Use  the  arrow keys and the space bar to check/uncheck  the
any of the bootable, multi-os, and swap options.

The multi-os option should only be turned on if at least one
operating system exists in the partition.   It is used  when
you  want to install more than one operating system  in  one
single  partition.   See the BootIt multi-boot  section  for
more details.

The swap option should only be turned on if the partition is
not  on  the  first  hard  drive  and  only  for  partitions
containing real mode operating systems which must  have  the
hard  drives  swapped for proper booting (like  booting  DOS
from  the  second  hard  drive). Swapping  should  never  be
enabled on HD0 partitions or partitions that contain 32  bit
operating systems.

The  bootable  option is only used keep the  partition  from
showing  up  when you configure the menu options  (explained
later).   Normally  you  would mark all  primary  partitions
bootable except for extended partitions.

 ID        File System        ID          File System

MBFT

Normally you let BootIt create the boot file entries for you
but you can also add them yourself.  When adding a boot file
(definition)  you will be prompted to enter  the  boot  file
name, number of sectors to load, load segment, code segment,
code offset, parameter string length, and parameter string.

The boot file name is the name of a file.  It should include
any  necessary spaces.  For example, if you are  defining  a
boot  file  for  a FAT partition it should be 11  characters
long.   EMBR compatible boot sector code uses the boot  file
definition to load it.

The  other  information (sector count, load  segment,  etc.)
depends  on what type of boot file it is.  If the boot  file
was   created  by  capturing  boot  sector  code  then   the
definition   would  be  as  follows.  Load   Count=1,   Load
Segment=7C0, Code Segment/Offset=0 7C00.

The  parameter string is used by EMBR compatible boot sector
code,  therefore, you must consult the documentation include
with  the  code.  For parameter string instructions  on  the
BootIt Multi-Os option see that section of this document.

If  you  move  or add an entry to the MBFT then  you  should
select an entry from the Boot Menu (explained later) and not
use  the  escape key (to boot).  If you hit escape it  won't
update  the partition to point to the correct MBFT entry  if
that entries position had changed.

MDT

When  adding an entry to the MDT it will ask you if you have
an  installation diskette.  If your EMBR driver  came  on  a
diskette  answer  yes and follow the instructions,  it  will
automatically  update the MDT entry.  If  you  are  manually
creating an entry you must consult the information that came
with the driver.

Working with Utilities

When  you choose utilities from the EMBRM main menu you will
be  presented  a  list of available utility programs.   Each
available  utility is an independent program much  like  DOS
COM files.

Each  utility  includes a short description.  Highlight  the
utility you are interested in and press the F1 key for  more
detailed  information, Delete key to remove the utility,  or
enter to run the utility.

To  add  a new utility press the insert key.  It will prompt
you  to  insert the utility installation diskette.   If  you
want  to  re-install  one  of the  utilities  included  with
BootIt, you can insert your BootIt installation diskette.

BootIt  includes  several  different  utilities  which   are
discussed below.  All of the utilities allow you to use  the
escape key to back up one level.

Backup/Restore

This  utility  will backup all the EMBR information  on  all
hard  drives by creating a file in the EMBRM partition.   It
will then ask if you want to backup the EMBRM partition to a
floppy diskette.  It will also restore the information  from
a backup diskette to the partition on the hard drive as well
as  let you select the EMBR backup file to restore on a hard
drive.

You  should  use this utility whenever you make  changes  to
your partition information.

During  the  restore of the EMBRM files it  will  prompt  if
existing files should be overwritten.  The choices are Y  to
replace  this file only, N to not replace this file only,  A
to  replace  all  files, or + to only add files  that  don't
already exist.

BootIt Boot Menu Configuration

This  utility is used to configure the BootIt Boot Menu that
is  displayed  (by  default, once  a  menu  entry  has  been
created) on each boot of the computer.

The  first time you enter the utility will list the  current
entries that exist.

To  insert a new menu entry; make sure you are in  the  Boot
Menu Description list box and press the insert key.  It will
prompt  you for the description of the entry to be displayed
on  the Boot Menu.  Once you have entered the description it
will  add  the entry to the list.  All items will  be  blank
except  (for  your convenience) the parameter  string  which
will  retain  the  value  that was there  when  you  pressed
insert.    (This  was a convenience back on BootIt  versions
2.00 and 2.01).

To update the values in one of the entries, highlight it and
press the tab key to move from group to group.

The  first  group you will come to after the description  is
the  boot drive.  Enter the  hard drive number that contains
the partition that you want this menu entry to boot when  it
is chosen from the Boot Menu.

Next  you  can choose the partition that should  be  booted.
Press  Enter  to  select  a partition  from  a  list.   Only
partitions  that are marked bootable will show  up  in  this
list.    If  you  leave the partition name blank  then  this
entry  will  boot from the floppy diskette  drive.  It  will
first look at A: then B:.

Third,  if  the  partition  you choose  is  a  FAT  multi-os
partition (that you activated by checking the multi-os check
box  in the MPT you will need to select the name of the boot
file that the boot sector code of the partition should load.

If  you  have captured a MBR boot file that you want to  use
for  this boot configuration then you select that file here.
All the MBR files begin with a small square.  MBR boot files
should only be used in special cases where a special MBR  is
required for Boot.

All  other boot configurations should use the delete key  to
delete any entry in this field.

Now you can enter any necessary parameter string information
that  should  accompany the boot file.  The  information  is
used  by  the  boot sector code, so that documentation  will
tell  you  how to configure the parameter string.   For  the
BootIt  utilities, the parameter string is the  group  name.
You  can  press  F4  to list the groups  in  the  partition.
Notice  that the maximum length of the parameter  string  is
retrieved  from  the Boot File you chose.  If  the  existing
parameter  string  was longer than what the  Boot  File  was
configured for, it will be truncated.  MBR files do not have
a parameter string.

Finally, you can enter which partitions should be placed  in
the  MBR for each of the drives you have. The partition  you
choose to boot will automatically be added to the MBR.  Each
of  the list box groups represent the MBR partition table of
each  hard drive.   You have the flexibility to choose which
partition  goes in each entry of the partition  table.   Use
the  up/down  arrows to highlight a position and  press  the
<enter> key to select a partition from a list.

To delete an entry, highlight it then press the delete key.

If  you  want to change the order of any of the menu entries
(descriptions), simply highlight the entry you want to move,
hold  down  the  control key on your keyboard  and  use  the
up/down arrow keys to move it.

To  change the maintenance password you can press the F6 key
from  the  description  list  box.   This  is  the  password
(registered version only) that is required to exit the  Boot
Menu and configure the system.

Once  you have completed your changes you can press  F10  to
save  and  exit  or  press escape then enter  to  abort  all
changes you made.

If  you  want  to  keep  people from  booting  certain  menu
configurations  you  can create additional  menus.   If  any
"user" menus are created then only user menus will be  used,
otherwise the AutoMenu will be used.

Each  time  you  enter  the menu configuration  utility  the
AutoMenu  is selected.  To create or load a new menu,  press
the  Alt-L  key.  A list of already defined  user  menus  is
displayed.  If there are no menus, you are prompted for  the
name  of a new one to create.  Creation of a new menu always
copies over the currently loaded menu as the starting  point
of the new menu.

To  create a new menu when there is a list of existing  user
menus,  press  the Insert key.  To delete a  menu  from  the
list,  highlight it and press the delete key.  To return  to
the AutoMenu, press the home key.  To load a menu, highlight
it and press the <enter> key.

When a user menu is being defined, you can assign a password
to  that  menu by pressing the F6 key.   If the AutoMenu  is
the  loaded menu then using F6 to define a password, defines
the  maintenance  password which is  the  password  that  is
needed  when  F10 is pressed from the Boot  Menu.   Remember
that  the maintenance password is only activated when BootIt
is registered.

You   can   also  select  a  "default"  menu  configuration.
Normally when you boot your system to the Boot Menu,  BootIt
will  highlight  the  last menu configuration  selected  and
start a count down to "quick boot" that partition.   If  you
create a menu description that begins with an asterisk  (*),
BootIt  will  highlight that configuration  every  time  and
start  the  count down.  It will "quick boot"  if  the  last
configuration   booted   was  the   default   configuration;
otherwise, it will do a full boot.

Selecting a default configuration will allow the time out to
work  with  user defined menus.  Because BootIt  will  quick
boot if the name of the last menu configuration has the same
name as the default configuration, for security reasons, you
will  want to make sure that no two user menus have the same
menu description which boot different configurations.

BootIt Install

This  is  the  utility that updates certain information  and
copies  the files from the diskette to the hard drive.    It
also updates the floppy diskette with certain information.

Capture MBR

Use this utility in special circumstances where you need  to
have a special MBR to boot a partition.

The  utility must be run from the hard drive partition.   If
the  MBR you need to capture is on hard drive 0, you'll have
to  use  your  existing installation diskette  and  run  the
"Transfer to EMBRM on Hard Drive" utility.

To  use this utility, run it,  If no previous captured files
exists, the process of adding a new one begins, otherwise  a
list of the existing MBR files are listed.  To add one press
the  insert key, to delete one, highlight it and  press  the
delete key.

The  processing  of  creating a MBR file is  simple,  simply
highlight the hard drive that contains the MBR you  want  to
capture  and  press the enter key.  Name it and  your  done.
All  MBR  files begin with a small square which  is  created
automatically.

To  use the captured MBR file you setup a boot configuration
with  this partition in the File field.  You obviously can't
use  this  type  of boot file on multi-os a.k.a.  multi-boot
partitions.

Check FAT BPB Drive/SPT/Head/Code

If  you have problems booting an operating system in  a  FAT
partition,  use this utility to check out a few  things  for
you.

One  check is that it will detect if DOS won't boot  in  the
partition because of its location on the disk.  If  that  is
the  case  then it gives you an option to install  new  Boot
Sector code that corrects DOS limitations.

Another  check  is  to look at the Drive Number,  Number  of
Heads,  and  Sectors  Per  Track to  verify  that  they  are
correct.

FAT Away

Use the FAT Away utility to reduce the size of a type 1,  4,
6, 11, 12, or 14 type FAT and FAT32 partitions.  The current
version  does not recognize extended partition volumes.   It
also  doesn't allow you to move partitions to make room  for
expansion.   Unless other utilities start to  recognize  the
EMBR, it's probable that a complete utility will be written.

To  use  this utility, you first select the hard drive  that
contains  the  partition you want  to  resize.   A  list  of
recognized   partitions  will  be  displayed.   Select   the
partition you want to resize.

A dialog box will appear with the name of the partition, the
current  size, the data size, and an input box  for  you  to
input  the new size.  Note:  The data size is  the size  the
partition must be to contain the last cluster of data.

Key  in the size you would like the new partition to be  (in
MB).    If it complains it's either because the size reduces
the partition too much or expands into another partition.

The  process to change the size of your partition may result
in  fragmented  files.   You should  run  you  favorite  FAT
defrager  program after the partition is resized.  Also,  If
you have a Windows permanent file, it will probably complain
and  want  you to delete and recreate it.  You can go  ahead
and  do  that  or change to use a temporary  file  prior  to
running the FAT Away utility.

If  you are converting a partition from or to FAT32 you will
need  to  reinstall the boot sector code.  To do this,  make
sure  you have bootable diskette that supports the FAT  type
you  are converting to and that the command to recreate  the
boot  sector  is on the diskette.   For Microsoft  operating
systems  you  will need to use the SYS command.   Also,  The
only  Microsoft operating system that supports FAT32 is  the
OSR2 version of Windows 95 and Windows 98.  You can create a
startup  diskette  in  Windows 95/98 by  running  add/remove
programs from the control panel then choose the Startup Disk
tab and finally click the Create Disk button.



FAT Format

This utility will format type 1, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12, 14 and  15
FAT partitions.

First  you  select  the  hard drive that  contains  the  FAT
partition you want to format. Next, you choose the partition
from  the list.  It will display a dialog with the partition
name  and a warning that all data on the partition  will  be
deleted if you continue.

If  it  is a type 5 or 15 (extended) partition, you will  be
presented  with a list of volumes in the partition.   If  no
volumes  exists,  it  will ask if you want  to  create  one.
Volumes  with a [F] next to them appear to be formatted  and
[U] means unformatted.

To  format a volume, highlight it, and press the enter  key.
A  dialog  will be displayed with the volume  number  and  a
warning  that all data on the partition will be  deleted  if
you continue.

If  you  want to create a new volume, press the insert  key.
The process of creating the volume is the same as adding  an
entry to the MPT.  A volume is normally added to the end  of
the  list, but if you deleted volume 0 (at any time (current
or  in the past)) and create a new volume in the first block
of unallocated space, the new volume will be Volume 0.

If  you  want  to  reorder  the volumes  (change  the  drive
letters),  you  can for all volumes except  for  the  "true"
volume  0.   The  true  volume 0 will always  be  volume  0.
Otherwise, to move a volume, highlight the volume  you  want
to move then press and hold the control key on your keyboard
and  use  the up/down arrow keys to move it.  The next  time
you  enter  or  update the partition, the  volumes  will  be
renumbered,  but the moved volume stays where it  was.   For
example,  if you have volumes 0 through 2 and move 2  before
1.  The list will show volume 0, 2, 1; but once the extended
partition is reloaded, the volume order will be back  to  0,
1, 2.  The volume that used to be 2 is now 1 and vice versa.

To  delete  an existing volume, highlight it and  press  the
delete key.

Group Editor

The   Group   Editor  edits/creates  a   data   file   named
BOOTITMB.DAT  in  a FAT partition.  The information  in  the
data file is used by the BootIt Boot Menu when it is booting
a FAT partition that has been activated as multi-os.

A group is the directory name used to store the files on the
partition under a directory named "BOOTIT".  This utility is
used  by the FAT multi-boot support built into BootIt.  When
a  FAT  multi-os partition is selected from the  Boot  Menu,
the  Boot  Menu program will copy the files in the group  to
the  original  directory.  This way, if you install  another
operating  system  and it overwrites  one  of  the  "active"
files, no harm is done.

To use this utility, select the hard drive that contains the
partition   you  want  to  work  with.   Next,  select   the
partition.  If the data file does not exists, it will ask if
you would like to create it.

To  add  a new group, press the insert key from the list  of
groups.   It  will ask you for the group code which  can  be
from  1  to  11 characters.  The group code is the directory
that should be used to "group" all the files together.   For
example  if the group code is "123" and the files  you  have
associated   with  this  group  are  FILE1.SYS,   FILE2.COM,
FILE3.BAT   then those files would be copied  to  the  group
directory.   Notice that within the same  group  you  cannot
have the same file name, in other words, you could not group
\FILE1.SYS and \X\FILE1.SYS.

To edit an existing group, highlight it and press enter.

To delete an existing group, highlight it and press delete.

When editing or adding a group you will be presented with  a
dialog  box  with  a  list box and an input  box.   Enter  a
description for this group in the Input box (below the  list
box),  this description is for your use only, but cannot  be
blank.   Press tab to switch to the list box, if no  entries
exist  it  will automatically prompt you to enter a position
code, path, and file name.

To  associate another file to this group, press  the  insert
key  from the list box.  You enter the position code, update
mode, path, file name, and file extension.  For example  you
could  enter  something  like  1  M  \  IO       SYS.   This
associates  the file \IO.SYS with the group  and  tells  the
Boot  Menu that it must be the first entry in the directory.
Actually   a  `\'  is not used if the file is  in  the  root
directory.

The  position codes are 0-9.  A value of zero indicates that
it  doesn't  matter  what entry in the directory  this  file
resides.  Values 1-9 indicate that the file must be in  that
entry  in the directory.  This is only applicable for  files
in the root directory and not FAT32.

The  update  mode determines how updates to  this  file  are
handled.   Either you manually specific to keep  or  replace
the  old  file or you have Bootit automatically replace  the
old file.

Refer  to  the "Operating Systems" section of this  document
for details on what the position code and  file names should
be.

To  remove  a  file from the list, highlight  it  and  press
delete.

When you have completed the changes to the group, press  F10
to  save the position codes, paths, and file names.  It will
also  attempt  to copy the active files (the  files  in  the
list)  to  the  group directory.  If a group  file  and  its
associated  active file exists, it will ask (for each  file)
if  you  want  to  replace the group file with  the  current
active  file.   Obviously, if the current active  files  are
from  another operating system you would NOT want to replace
the existing group file.

Once  the active files have been copied to the group  files,
it will check for any files in the group which is not in the
list  of files associated with the group and ask if you want
to  delete it.  It is important that you don't delete a file
if  you  don't  know what it is.  The only  time  you  would
answer  yes is if you removed that file from the  group  and
you really don't need it anymore.

Install EMBRI/EMBRL

Run this utility to install or update the EMBRI (the code in
the MBR) and EMBRL (the driver in the EMBR).

If your system no longer boots into BootIt and you no longer
get  the  EMBRI version x.xx and EMBRL version x.xx  as  you
normally  do  when the system is booted, you  can  run  this
utility   to   reinstall  the  EMBRI  which   probably   got
overwritten by an OS installation or utility.

Sound: Install/Remove Startup Sound

This utility will install a sound file.  A sound file is  an
ASCII  file  with an extension of SND.  The  format  of  the
sound file is discussed later.

When you run this utility it will first check if a sound  is
already  active.  If so, it will ask if you want  to  remove
the  sound  (turn off sounds).  If yes, it will  delete  the
sound file on the partition and exit the utility.  Otherwise
it continues on.

It  will  ask you to place a diskette in the A: or B:  drive
with the sound file(s).  When you do that (then press enter)
it  will list all the sound files found.  To install one  of
the  files, highlight it and press enter.  It will play  the
sound and ask you if you want to install this sound.  Answer
yes  or no.  You can then press escape a couple of times  to
exit the utility.

The   format  of  the  sound  file  is  as  follows;   note:
capitalization/spacing is not important and  the  x  in  the
examples represents a number.

cycles=x (optional-must be first) - number of times to cycle
the entire routine.
Fx - Frequency to play (in hertz)
FRx|xSxLx  -  Frequency range to play.  First x is  starting
frequency,  x after `|' is ending frequency.  S is  optional
and  is  the  step frequency rate (default=1).   L  is  also
optional,  it  is the latency delay in milliseconds  between
frequency step.  (default=0)
Dx - Delay in milliseconds.  (1000 milliseconds = 1 second)
N - No sound.  Turns sound off.

Here's  a  sample  routine  that will  play  2000hz  for  .5
seconds,  pause with no sound for 1 second, then play  500hz
to 2000hz stepping 10hz with a delay of .005 seconds between
steps, then do the same thing only from 2000hz to 500hz:

F 2000 D 500 N D 1000
FR 500 | 2000 S 10 L 5
FR 2000 | 500 S 10 L 5

Transfer to EMBRM on Hard Drive

When the "BootIt Install" utility was run, it created a file
that contained information on where the EMBRM was installed.
If  the EMBRI, EMBRL, or EMBR get overwritten, you can still
get to the EMBRM on the hard drive by running this utility.

Undo EMBR/Restore FAT Boot Sector

This  utility  has three options.  Undo Last EMBR  creation,
Undo Last EMBRI/EMBRL Install, or Restore saved FAT File.

The Undo Last EMBR creation does just that,  It restores the
section  of  disk used by the EMBR to the state  it  was  in
prior to the EMBR being installed.  You select the file from
the  list  that corresponds to the hard drive  you  want  to
undo.   If  you are removing BootIt you always  restore  the
hard drive that contains the EMBR Manager last.

Undo  Last  EMBRI/EMBRL Install does just that  (Undoes  the
last  EMBRI/EMBRL  Install).  When the  Install  EMBRI/EMBRL
utility  is  run it creates a backup of the  EMBR  prior  to
installing  anything.   If something  should  happen  during
installation of the EMBRI or EMBRL you can restore  back  to
what the EMBR was.

To  restore the boot sector of a partition, choose the  hard
drive  and partition.  Next enter the boot file name to  use
for  restoring the boot sector.  To get a list of all  files
in  the  root  directory, type in all (11)  question  marks.
Then you can choose the boot file from the list.

Update Reference to EMBRM

Use this utility to update the installation diskette in case
the  EMBRM  partition has been moved.  This makes sure  that
the  "Transfer to EMBRM on Hard Drive" utility can find  the
EMBRM.

FAT Multi-Boot AKA Multi-OS

This  feature  of  BootIt  is used to  boot  multi-operating
systems  from a single partition.  In other words,  you  can
have  DOS,  Win95, Win NT all in the same  partition  or  C:
drive.

You  should only activate a partition as Multi-os if it  has
at least one operating system installed on it.

To  activate the multi-os support, check the multi-os  check
box located in the MPT for that partition.

Once  you have activated a partition as Multi-os; if  BootIt
finds  the partition in the MBR, it will check the partition
for  any changes.  If it finds that the boot sector code has
been changed, it assumes a new OS installation and runs  the
Group  Editor;   otherwise,  it  will  check  (by  the  file
size/time/date) if any files from the last group  have  been
updated.  If so, it will ask if you want to update the group
files (explained with the Group Editor utility) to match the
active  files or to create a new group based on the existing
changed group.

Once a group and menu configuration has been created and you
can  successfully  boot the partition, you  can  install  an
additional  operating  system  and  repeat  the  process  of
creating  the  Boot File and Group.  See the  web  site  and
sample  configurations at the end of this document for  more
details on the multi-boot setup process.

Note,  If  you are upgrading from version 2.01 or 2.00  then
contact  TeraByte  Unlimited  for  instructions  on  how  to
convert it to the new format.

The Boot Menu

The Boot Menu is the first thing that will be displayed when
the  EMBRM is requested from the hard drive; provided  there
has  been  at least on entry configured for the  Boot  Menu.
See   the  "BootIt  Menu  Configuration  Program"  for  more
information.  If you have defined user menus then  you  will
be  prompted for a user/menu name and then a password.  That
menu is then active until the next reboot.

It  will  list  all  the  menu entry items  you  configured.
Provided everything has been configured properly, you simply
select  the item from the menu and press enter to boot  that
configuration.  To boot without changing the current MBR  or
partition    information,   press   escape   and    whatever
configuration is active will be booted.

If the configuration that you choose boots from a FAT multi-
os   partition,   it  will  look  at  the  parameter  string
configured for the boot file and copy the group files to  be
the active files.  (See Group Editor for information on what
active and group files are)

If  the EMBRM is being forced and the time out value in  the
EMBRL parameter string is not zero, the Boot Menu will count
down the number of seconds that have been configured.  If  a
key  has not been hit or either the enter key or escape  key
has  been  hit, it will boot the current configuration  with
out  any extra processing such as updating the active  files
in  multi-os partitions.   In the case of having  a  default
configuration, it may need to update the files, etc.

If  you  need  to  update the active files  in  a  partition
because  they may have been overwritten or deleted  and  the
Boot Menu does a count down, you will need to hit a key such
as the space bar to cancel the countdown then press enter to
select the same entry.

To  enter the EMBR Manager to perform maintenance or run one
of  the utilities, press the F10 key. If you have registered
the product and have configured a password, you will need to
enter  it  before you will be granted access to  the  EMBRM.

Operating Systems

DOS

Files  and  file positions required for boot (not  including
any compression drivers):
         MS DOS                         PC DOS
Positio     File Name          Positi     File Name
   n                             on
   1     IO.SYS                   1    IBMBIO.COM
   2     MSDOS.SYS                2    IBMDOS.COM
   0     COMMAND.COM              0    COMMAND.COM
   0     AUTOEXEC.BAT             0    AUTOEXEC.BAT
   0     CONFIG.SYS               0    CONFIG.SYS


Notes:

If  you  already have Windows 95 installed as well  as  your
prior  version of DOS then there is already a group of files
with  the  DOS  extension.  After you setup  the  group  for
Windows 95 you would use the Group Editor utility to  create
a Group for DOS.  It will copy over the files for windows 95
to  the  DOS group directory.  To fix this, Boot  Win95  and
delete  the  files in the DOS group directory under  BootIt.
Next unhide any DOS files in the root directory (attrib -h -
s  -r *.DOS) copy the *.DOS files to the DOS group directory
under  BOOTIT.  Now change to that directory and rename  the
files  to  the  correct  names (ren  config.dos  config.sys,
etc.).  Next, hide the system files (attrib +h +s +r io.sys,
attrib  +h  +s +r msdos.sys).  Finally, return to  the  root
directory and delete the .DOS files.

If  you are having trouble trying to boot DOS on a partition
that   is  high  on  the  disk,  use  the  "Check  FAT   BPB
Drive/SPT/Head/Code" utility.

If you have compressed volumes, you have to make sure any OS
you  add supports the same format.  You would probably  also
want  to  add the DBLSPACE.BIN or DRVSPACE.BIN file  in  the
group (maybe even DBLSPACE.INI).  You may also just want  to
use  part  of your partition for disk compression  and  only
when  that particular OS was booted.  You'll have  to  think
about what you want to do, the options are to numerous.

To  transfer over the DOS OS to a partition that already has
another OS  you would use the SYS command (this only  copies
the  boot  files).  If the partition was blank but formatted
you  could  use  either  the SYS or  FORMAT  /S  command  to
transfer  the OS, or if the partition was not formatted  you
would used the FORMAT /S command.

The swapping feature from version 1.x has been added to this
version.  This allows the partition to be booted from a hard
drive  other than 0.  Please note that you will not be  able
to  run Windows with 32bit disk access enabled.  If you try,
Windows  will complain and automatically turn  it  off  (for
that session).

Windows 95/98

Files  and  file positions required for boot (not  including
any compression drivers):
   Positio    File Name
      n
      0    IO.SYS
      0    MSDOS.SYS
      0    COMMAND.COM
      0    AUTOEXEC.BAT
      0    CONFIG.SYS


Notes:

Release  2 of Windows 95 and Windows 98 may use FAT32,  they
also  support booting and access to areas on your hard drive
above 8GB.

Long  file  names  are compatible with NT  versions  3.5  or
greater.  NT version 3.11 will destroy your Win95 long  file
names.

If  you have the Win95 upgrade it will ask if it should keep
your  existing version of DOS system files.  If you say  yes
it  will  copy the files over to a file extension  group  of
DOS.   If you have previously activated the multi-os option,
you don't need to save them.

Windows/95/98 will overwrite the EMBRI code; therefore, once
you  have  completed installation of Windows 95/98 you  will
need  to  boot  with  the BootIt installation  diskette  and
either run the Transfer utility then the Install EMBRI/EMBRL
utility  or  just  run  the  Install  EMBRI/EMBRL  from  the
diskette drive.  The difference is where the backup or  undo
file will be located.

You  can  multi-boot  OSR2/Win98 in a single  FAT  or  FAT32
partition  if you install the different windows versions  in
different directories.  A potential problem is that "Program
Files" is used by both versions as well as the programs  you
have  installed have probably updated the registry.  Another
use  for the multi-boot feature is to allow you to setup/use
different files before booting the partition.

Of course you can use BootIt to keep each version (95/98) in
its own partition and boot from that partition.  You do that
by  only  selecting one of the partitions in  the  MBR  boot
configuration.   You could then keep all your programs on  a
"common  app" partition used for applications, you may  need
to  install  the  application twice (one  for  each  Windows
Version)   to  the  same  location  (on  the  "common   app"
partition)  to  make sure the registry is  correct  in  each
version.

You should not use the multi-boot feature of Windows 95,  in
fact you may want to edit the MSDOS.SYS file and change  the
BootMulti=1 to BootMulti=0.  If you use windows 95  to  load
the prior version of DOS it will rename the window 95 system
files  to  a group of W40 then rename the group DOS  to  the
active  file names.  On the next reboot, BootIt will  detect
that  the  system files have been updated/changed  and  will
prompt if you want to overwrite the group files you have for
Windows  95.  Obviously you'll say no to each file otherwise
you'll  be  updating the Win95 system files with DOS  system
files.

You  can easily install Windows 95 to the second hard  drive
on  your  system.  For this to work easily you will have  no
FAT  or  FAT32 primary partitions on hard drive 0.  You  can
have and extended partition.    Here's how you can do it:

1)    Make  sure  you have a Win95 CD ROM installation  boot
  diskette (included with the OEM version)

2)   Create the partition on HD1 (your second hard drive).
Be sure and check the Bootable and Swap check boxes.
3)   Format the partition using the FAT format utility.

4)    Create a menu configuration.  The Drive will be 1, the
  partition will be the one you created in step 2, the MBR for
  HD0 will either be blank or have one extended partition in
  it, the MBR for HD1 will have the partition you created in
  step 2.

5)    Boot  with that menu configuration.  You get a message
  that no operating system exists on the partition.

6)   Insert your Win95 CD ROM installation boot diskette
(you can do the floppy install if you have to) and press
enter.
7)    Begin  the  Win95 installation.  When it gets  to  the
  point  where installation is complete and wants to restart
  the computer, wait and continue with the next step.

8)    Go ahead and click finish to reboot the computer, when
  the BootIt Boot menu is display, press F10 !!

9)   Go back in to the partition entry that you created in
step 2 and remove the check mark from the swap option check
box.   Save the changes.
10)   Run the "Check FAT BPB Drive/SPT/Head/Code" utility on
  the  partition you created in step 2.  It will detect that
  some  values need to be changed.  Select yes to apply  the
  changes.

11)   Now  go  back  to the Boot Menu and  choose  the  menu
  configuration  you created in step 4.  Win95  should  boot
  directly from the 2nd hard drive.   Just make sure you don't
  add any visible primary FAT partitions to hard drive 0  or
  that drive becomes C:.

Windows NT

Files and file positions required for boot:
   Positio    File Name
      n
      0    NTLDR
      0    BOOT.INI
      0    NTDETECT.COM
      0    NTBOOTDD.SYS



Notes:

NTBOOTDD.SYS is usually only used with SCSI hard drives.  It
is a copy of the driver renamed to NTBOOTDD.SYS.

Windows NT is very picky on the order of partitions  in  the
MBR.  The file BOOT.INI has an entry that points to where NT
should  be and if its not there, NTLDR will issue some  type
of error (usually telling you that ntoskrnl.exe is missing).
To  fix it you can either update the BOOT.INI file or change
the  order  of  the partitions in the menu configuration  so
that  the NT partition matches the BOOT.INI file.  The  item
in  the  BOOT.INI file that you want to check is  the  x  in
partition(x).   Partitions are counted in the MBR  partition
table  for hard drives that are supported by the BIOS.   The
first primary of each hard drive is counted then the volumes
in the extended partitions and finally any remaining primary
partitions.

If  Windows NT is installed in an extended partition  volume
(or  another  hard drive) it will still install  its  system
startup  files on hard drive 0 in the current active primary
partition.  Therefore, make sure that the configuration  you
created  boots  from a partition on HD0.  Then  install  NT.
Don't use the swap feature with NT.

NT  must be booted from a partition that begins under 2GB or
you  will get a divide overflow error from BootIt.   If  you
weren't using BootIt, you wouldn't get an error, the  system
would just lock up.

OS/2

Files and file positions required for boot:
   Positio    File Name
      n
      0    AUTOEXEC.BAT
      0    CONFIG.SYS


Notes:

Actually  the  system  files for OS/2 are  OS2KRNL,  OS2LDR,
OS2LDR.MSG, OS2RAS, OS2VER, OS2BOOT, and WP ROOT.SF.  If you
were  going to install more than one version of OS/2 in  the
same partition then you would need to add these files to the
group.

When installing OS/2 use the advanced installation method so
that  you can be sure where your files are going.   Be  sure
that  you don't create any new partitions while you  are  in
the fdisk utility (selecting the install partition).

You can install OS/2 in a primary partition on hard drive  0
without  any problem.  If you want OS/2 installed  on  to  a
logical volume or 2nd hard drive then boot manager has to be
installed.  CATCH 22; Because the OS/2 Fdisk wants to create
a  "new"  boot manager partition and won't let you select  a
partition for it to be installed on, you'll only be able  to
install  boot manager if you only have 3 partitions and  all
the  partitions are in the active boot configuration  or  if
you  are  100% sure the area of free space seen by fdisk  is
actually free.  If you create the boot manager partition and
partitions exist that are not in the MBR, then one of  those
partitions  will  (more than likely) be  corrupted  by  boot
manager.   Once  OS/2 is installed you can  either  directly
boot  the OS/2 partition or volume via BootIt or have BootIt
boot the boot manager partition.

Don't  use  the  OS/2  dual boot in  an  activated  multi-os
partition.  If your using a different setup where OS/2 is in
its own partition with DOS only then it's okay.

Linux

Files   and   file  positions  required  for  boot:    (More
information at later date)
   Positio    File Name
      n
      0
      0


Notes:

For  multi-boot installations use something like the  umsdos
installation.  Also, always install the loader in  the  root
(or super block) and not in the MBR.

Sample Configuration

Here  is  one example on how to setup a multi-os  partition.
Another example on setting up an OS in its own partition  is
also  given.   Steps  2  and 3 of the  multi-os  sample  are
optional.  Be sure you have read the Getting Started section
of this document so that you have some understanding on what
is going on.

Multi-Boot Partition: Current OS is DOS/Windows
1)   Install BootIt.
2)   If the previous boot configuration did not include this
  partition in the MBR then (if you don't already have  one)
  create a boot configuration which has this partition in the
  MBR and boot with it.
3)   Work with hard drive (selected from the EMBRM Menu)
4)     Tab   to   the  MPT  group,  highlight  the  existing
  DOS/Windows partition and press enter.
5)    Rename it to whatever you wish.  For the example  I'll
  assumed it's named "My C Drive".   (If you rename it, don't
  forget  to  change  any previous menu  configurations  you
  created with the old name)
6)    Tab  to  the options for the partition and  check  the
  Multi-os check box by using the arrow keys and space bar.
7)   Press enter to accept the changes to the MPT entry.
8)   Tab to save and press enter to save your changes.
9)   Press Ctrl-Alt-Del to reset your computer.
10)   Provided the partition was visible in the MBR,  BootIt
  will detect a new OS.  Choose yes to create a boot file.
11)   Enter  a  name  for the boot file.   I'll  assume  you
  entered BOOTDOS622.
12)  The Group Editor utility will be automatically started.
  When it begins it will display a prompt telling you it has
  been started.  Press enter or escape to get past the prompt.
13)  It will tell you no groups exists.  Select `Y' to
create a group.  If any groups currently existed it would
display them and you would press the insert key to add a new
one.
14)   Enter the group code.  I'll assume you entered  DOS622
  and pressed enter.
15)  Select the appropriate selection from the Pop-Up box or
  ESC to enter the information manually.
16)  If you choose an option from the Pop-Up box it will ask
you to enter a description for this group.  This description
will show up on your Boot Menu.
17)  If adding manually, press tab (if needed) and type in a
description for this group.  Something like "DOS/Windows".
18)  If adding manually, If you have entries to add to the
list, press tab and create them.  Once all the names are in
the list press the F10 key.
19)   Now  install the next operating system you want,  then
  repeat steps 10 through 18.   Some operating systems (such
  as  Windows 95) will overwrite the EMBRI code.  If that is
  the  case  all  you  need to do is boot with  your  BootIt
  installation diskette and run the Reactivate BootIt option.

Single  Partition: Installing Windows NT  from  CD/other  on
unpartitioned hard drive 0.
1)   Install BootIt.
2)   Create a Partition for Windows NT.  From the EMBRM menu
  choose to work with hard drive 0 then choose "Add New Entry"
  by  pressing  enter.   Continue until  you  have  setup  a
  partition  of  type 6 and only the Bootable check  box  is
  checked.
3)   Format the partition using the format utility.
4)   Create a menu entry for the Windows NT partition.   Use
  the Boot Menu Configuration utility.  Enter the description
  for the entry then press enter.  Tab over to the partition
  field  and press enter then select the partition from  the
  list.  (If  its  not on the list you forgot  to  mark  the
  partition bootable when setting it up).  Tab over to the MBR
  for  HD0  then press enter and again select the partition.
  Press F10 to save your changes.
5)   Press escape until you enter the Boot Menu (one ESC key
  past the EMBRM main menu).
6)   Choose the entry you created from the menu.  It will
display a message saying that there is no operating system
installed on the partition.
7)   Now insert your installation diskette in the A: drive
<enter>.   The installation diskette will now be booted.
8)     You   should  usually  use  the  advanced  or  custom
  installation choices to make sure the installation routine
  doesn't try to create a new partition.   Remember that the
  OS and system tools only see the partitions that are in the
  MBR,  so if it creates or moves a partition it may put  it
  right on top of an existing one that is not currently in the
  MBR partition table.  You can however create or move volumes
  in an extended partition provided that the actual extended
  partition doesn't get moved or expanded.
9)   That's it your done.
One   common  configuration  is  to  have  multiple  primary
partitions  (one for each operating system) and  one  common
(shared)  extended partition.   To do this you indicate  the
boot  partition,  then you add both the boot  partition  and
extended partition to the MBR for each configuration.


Dedicated  Partitions: Installing Windows NT 4 on HD 1.
1)    Make sure you have your Win NT installation diskettes.
  If not use the WINNT program on the WINNT CD to create them.
  Type WINNT/? For a list of all the options.  The  /OX switch
  creates a set a diskettes so you can install from the CDROM
  drive.
2)   Create a Partition for Windows NT Startup on HD0.  From
  the EMBRM menu choose to work with hard drive 0 then choose
  "Add New Entry" by pressing enter.  It asks for the type of
  entry to create, choose `P'.  Continue until you have setup
  a  partition of type 6 and only the Bootable check box  is
  checked.   You can create the partition small as possible,
  which is going to be about 5MB.  Just start at 2 then 3 then
  4, etc.
3)    Create  the main NT partition on HD1.  From the  EMBRM
  menu choose to work with hard drive 1 then choose "Add New
  Entry" by pressing enter.  It asks for the type of entry to
  create,  choose  `P'.  Continue until  you  have  setup  a
  partition of type 6.  Leave the check boxes blank.
4)    Format  both  of the partitions using the  FAT  Format
  utility.
5)   Create a menu entry for the Windows NT partition.   Use
  the Boot Menu Configuration utility.  Press Insert and enter
  the description for the entry then press enter.  Tab over to
  the drive field and be sure it's 0.  Next, tab over to the
  partition  field and press enter to select  the  small  NT
  Startup partition from a list. (If its not on the list you
  forgot to mark the partition bootable when setting it up).
  Tab  over  to the MBR for HD0 then press enter  and  again
  select the partition and press enter.  Tab over to the MBR
  for HD1 then press enter.  Select the main NT partition from
  the list and press enter.  Press F10 to save your changes.
6)   Press escape until you enter the Boot Menu (one ESC key
  past the EMBRM main menu).
7)   Choose the entry you created from the menu and press
enter.  It will display a message saying that there is no
operating system installed on the partition.
8)    Insert  the  NT installation boot diskette  and  press
  enter.
9)    NT  Setup  starts,   Choose  the  existing  (main  NT)
  partition you created on hard drive 1.
10)   That's  it your done.  NT boots from the partition  on
  HD0 and transfers itself over to HD1 (It uses the boot.ini
  file so be sure to update it if you add any partitions  to
  the  MBR mix).  You can do the same thing using a multi-os
  partition.  That  way you don't have to dedicate  a  small
  partition for the NT boot.
