Thanks for your reply to my post in PLUG but the dual boot thing was not my
problem but somebody else's. His problem was that his win partition was on
another drive and not on the same drive. We have the same setup and the
remapping of the hard drives works fine for me. I am not sure if it worked
for the other guy, though. I did not hear from him again.
Anyway, I am interested in Smart Boot. If it is freeware, please send me
it's URL.
Thanks.
Holden
