It has three disks installed. When boot0 comes up, I get the usual "F1 for this disk, F5 for the next drive". Every time it reboots, I always have to do F5 then F1 to boot the correct drive. Unfortunately, this makes automatic restarts in the event of a power hiccough (an all too common occurrence around here) not restart correctly. Is there some way I can *persuade* boot0 to always go to the second drive, first bootable section? If so, please enlighten me, I pray. Thank you, very much. :-) -- Timothy Knox "The road to Perl6 is paved with good intentions." -- Peter da Silva (inspired by Yossi Kreinin) on http://we.hates-software.com/
