Doubts on a Transcender question - boot.ini
I was considering setting up my T20 to dual-boot W98 and W2k. Is this possible using the T20s W2k recovery disk?

I was actually looking at the time when the primary boot drive died and I wanted to boot from the alternate boot drive. I was hoping to just select the alternate boot drive from the list that is presented at cold boot time and then boot from that drive but I guess there has to be another way.
