Holey moley, that's a lot of stuff! Thanks.

But you're right...all I need is the text and I can paste it into a file
and
make my own screen cap. Duh. :-) So, who's got the most complicated
boot.ini? :-)


Most people with sophisticated multi-boot configurations will not be
using boot.ini but rather a third-party boot manager such as Boot It
Next Generation from http://www.bootitng.com

The advantages of these third party tools (Partition Magic is another
that is widely used) is that they also provide partitioning utilities
for resizing partitions non-destructively etc. Also they provide
configuration settings that allow the non-booting operating system
partitions to be hidden, which can be an important consideration as it
helps to prevent accidental cross-contamination of one operating
system with files from another.
