RE: [PLUG] Lilo / 1024 sector problem (dual boot)
|
Right click on my computer, select Advanced, then click the Startup and
Recovery options. There's a checkbox that says "Display list of operating
systems for x seconds" And a drop down box with operating systems in it.
If you only have one OS installed, it's pretty pointless to show the menu.
