Some operating systems use the same folder structure for some of their files This could cause some files to be overwritten For example both Windows 95 and 98 use the PROGRAM FILES folder for an Accessories folder so even if you had Windows 95 installed in WINDOWS and then installed Windows 98 to WIN98 Windows 98 Setup could overwrite the files in the Accessories folder To solve this you Bootlt Bare Metal User Manual Page 70 could have installed Windows 98 to its own drive letter D WINDOWS for example In this case you still need the Multi OS feature on the boot partition because Windows 98 will install its boot files on drive C and the rest would be installed to drive D The Multi OS feature protects the Windows 95 boot files on drive C and creates a new set for Windows 98 Setting Up Multi OS Groups on Different Operating Systems Review the following sections for information about files and file positions required for boot for DOS Windows 95 98 ME Windows NT 2000 XP 2003 and OS 2 For specific details about specific operating systems visit www terabyteunlimited com kb DOS The following files and file positions required for boot not including any compression drivers Position Position 1 ibmbio dos 2 msdos sys iomdos com 0 command com command com 0 autoexec bat autoexec bat 0 config sys config sys Windows 95 98 ME The following files and file positions required for boot not including any compression dr

Boot sectors are operating and file system specific The program located in this boot sector is responsible for starting the process that loads and executes the OS kernel Now that you know the basics of how the system normally boots let s focus on the EMBR and how it is used with Bootlt BM The Extended Master Boot Record EMBR specification dynamically extends the capabilities of the system The EMBR contains a block of code called the EMBR Loader and three tables one for partition information one for boot file information and one for information on drivers that may need to be loaded on your system Each of these tables can contain up to 255 entries The table in the EMBR that contains partition information is called the Master Partition Table MPT This table is used in place of the partition table to contain all partition information When an operating system is loading at some point it looks for partitions in the partition table At the very least it must find itself and typically assigns access to any of the other partitions or volumes that it recognizes Bootlt BM handles the MPT and partition table by letting you create bootable configurations or boot items allowing you to choose which partitions from the MPT are to be placed into the partition table as seen in the following graphic and on page 31 If you are using the Limit Primaries setting then all partitions from the MPT are automatically placed into the partition tab
