- Does NT have a boot manager or something like it?
-
- I have just been given an article which describes how to install NT using
- the OS/2 boot manager (Douglas Hamilton, Windows Magazine, OCT. 92). I
- have not tryed the procedure. It is very specific and the biggest catch
- for me is that NT must be the first thing put on the disk, something I can
- not tolerate (Boot Manager must be first, then os/2 v2 on E:). NT must be
- put on C: (OK with me). I assume this article is for the beta version just
- previous to the one now out.
-
- OK, so it will not install with the boot manager. Another post on this
- news group mentioned that there is a bit in the boot record that may be toggled
- so that the boot manager would not be visible during NT installation.
- Would this work?
