Launcher

 In the Main menu: select Tools > Setup Boot Manager…

 On the Common Tasks Bar: click the Boot Manager Wizard item of the Wizards menu.

Setup

The wizard offers the following steps to accomplish the operation:

 Hiding other primary partitions. By marking this checkbox the program will automatically assign the hidden flag

to all primary partitions of the hard disk(s) except the one selected to boot. This will help to avoid any problems

when dealing with different operating systems or different versions of one and the same OS, as they will be

unaware of each other.

 Boot menu options. In this section you can switch between the following modes:

- Normal mode. Choose this mode to display the boot menu every time the computer starts up and define a

timeout on the expiry of which the program will automatically select the previously chosen item of the menu.

- Hidden mode. Choose this mode not to display the boot menu until pressing a hot key. For this mode you

should define a hot key used to enable the Boot Manager and a time period in seconds the startup message will

be displayed.

 Deactivating/Configuring the Boot Manager. These two options will only be available once the wizard has been

completed and launched again. Select the Deactivate option to remove the Boot Manager from the MBR

(Master Boot Record) or Configure to modify the previously set parameters of the startup process.

Result

After the Boot Manager Setup Wizard is completed the program updates the original record in the MBR to get control of

the booting process and to be able to display the boot menu.
