Agree Brain's comments. And you can use "select x" internal cmd of DiskPart tool followed by "inspect" internal cmd to check the disk partition info -Original Message- From: Brian J. Johnson [mailto:bjohn...@sgi.com] Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 21:51 To: edk2-devel@lists.sourceforge

It is two ROM images loaded in flash separately. Loading into memory is not a problem, but if they are executed interchangeably will the initialization routines of OptionROM and BSD be called every time before the switch happens? And whether the system firmware make sure both the services will
